Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am requesting a few brand new scoops and whiffle balls to help our students stay active and healthy while learning their skills. Our students love to learn and practice their hand eye coordination skills throwing, catching and trying some cool lacrosse tricks with the scoops and balls. Our scoops are getting old and they are breaking therefore we need a few new ones to replace the old ones so we have enough for each class to continue having fun with the scoops and balls.

To keep our new scooping equipment happy and in great shape for a long time we need some equipment storage crates.

The stackable crates are a great way to store our recess and PE equipment in our small space that we have. It's been tough to replace our worn equipment since our district bond did not pass and all budgets have been cut. Any help we can get will be greatly appreciated and used for fun and fitness with the students.
