Sports Equipment and Mental Health!

Help me give my students sports equipment and sports related books for our classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Salgado's classroom raised $256

This project is fully funded

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

Help me give students sports equipment to promote mental health in the classroom and at home!

Students will utilize a Chicago style 16' softball in various ways to stimulate their academic growth and their mental health.

Students will use white paper to plan their activities and to chart their growth. Students will use the putting green once they have completed their classroom tasks. This will promote social-emotional learning in the classroom. Students will also utilize the football as a learning device in the classroom.

Sports equipment and mental health go hand in hand.

Mr. Salgado Belmont - Cragin Elementary School Grades 6-8
