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 elementary school is excited to introduce a flag football team to encourage physical activity, teamwork, and school spirit. We need flags, footballs, basic equipment as well as jerseys for the team members.

By establishing a flag football program, students will gain the opportunity to develop physical fitness, leadership skills, and teamwork.

It will also provide an outlet for those who may not traditionally participate in other sports, making athletics more accessible to all students. Furthermore, spirit items will boost school pride, helping to create a more connected and enthusiastic student body.
