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

This essential tool will be a crucial part to making next year's wrestling season a success. The wrestling dummy will be a huge step to building our program as our students can practice throws in a safe matter. Our students are ecstatic to compete next year that they are practicing during the off season. The wrestling dummy will not only help them improve their throws but their confidence as they compete with higher competition. This tool will be use for demonstration and practice purpose to show throwing technique and how to land safely on the mat.
