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 Title I school is located in Richmond, California. Due to staff and teacher shortages, our students do not have regular Physical Education led by a PE teacher. Our class has very limited PE equipment. Your support means exciting and interesting Physical education equipment to help keep our students moving!

We hope to add a variety of games to keep our students interested in moving and staying active.

Your donations will support a diverse student population. Interesting and varied physical activities like Pickleball and Cornhole help support a peaceful and focused classroom for all learning. We got to move it, move it!
