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

During yard duty I notice kids playing the same games over and over again, but then I also notice some kids bored of the same games available. In the past I've had students interested in playing volleyball which is great but we lack the equipment to truly have them experience playing the game. I believe learning a variety of sports is important.

That being said, please help me provide the equipment needed for them to truly learn the game of volleyball - and why not include badminton, as well.

My goal it to bring different sports to our school and teach them that there is more than soccer, basketball or 4 square, these are all great but not all kids are into just these.

Let's bring a variety of sports to our school!
