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

Imagine a physical environment full of laughter, movement, and excitement where every child has the tools they need to grow strong, confident, and healthy. These requested resources will be support our scholars for various things at our campus whether its recess with the basketball goals, bowling sets; PE resources, incentives using the snacks and stickers; or emotional support using the flexible floor chairs and fidgets. Right now, unfortunately, our elementary school’s physical education program is missing that spark because we lack the proper funding.

With your donation, you can help create an active, inclusive space where every child has the chance to move, play, and thrive.

Your support isn’t just funding equipment, it’s investing in the future of our children.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
