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

Our students are so eager to participate in sports. They love P.E. BUT they want to be part of a school team that masters a sport and can challenge themselves to improve individually and as a team. The trainer grip balls will be utilized to practice basketball, and the balance stones will help train the motor skills needed for the sport. Our coach will also need the clipboard to teach us new plays.

Our students are coming early in the morning and Saturday in order to practice, but with no equipment is hard to improve and master our game.

We need the scrimmage vest pennies to keep track of who is who in the team. Is hard to keep track of all the running and movement. More than once the ball ends in the other team by mistake.

Please, help us provide our students with equipment that will allow them to improve socially, and physically, and it will develop life-lasting skills.
