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

Hi amazing donors who love Pickle ball. Pickle ball has become an extremely popular sport in America and I would love to teach my students how to play. Equipment for a school is quite expensive and a few donors could make this dream come true.

Our students come from mostly low income families.

We teach students of all different backgrounds, and many who are new to the United States and just learning English.

This would be a great chance to teach them a life long activity that they could do. During Physical Education, I teach lifetime fitness activities and I want them to learn something they can use forever
