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 want to create a unit for scooter games for my students. I teach 650 students who are way under the poverty line. Many of them have not experienced the fun and exercise associated with scooter games. Our budget does not allow for a lot of purchases; therefore, I am asking you for your donation. With this funded project, I can introduce and implement really fun scooter games, like scooter races, scooter handball, scooter hockey, and scooter basketball. These games are not only very, very fun, but they are a different way to engage leg and core muscles without the realization that the students are doing very strenuous exercise. Can you help us achieve this goal?

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
