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 project will provide Bigger Five fitness trackers to my students to help them:

Monitor their physical activity and set movement goals.

Track their sleep habits for better rest and recovery.

Learn about heart rate and stress management.

Stay motivated through daily step and movement challenges.

Reflect on the connection between movement and mental clarity.

Fitness trackers are not just about steps—they’re about self-awareness and building lifelong habits that support a healthier mind and body. We will incorporate the use of these trackers into our PE lessons, health check-ins, and mindfulness practices.

These trackers will support:

Improved mental health through increased daily activity.

More engagement during PE and wellness periods.

Personal accountability and goal setting.

Group support as students work toward shared challenges.

With your help, we can create a supportive and active environment where students can thrive both mentally and physically. These tools will help them realize that their health matters—and they have the power to protect it.
