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

I love my students’ energy and determination to push themselves and try new challenges. They come to class ready to learn, support one another, and strive to improve every day, which inspires me to give them the best resources possible. My students are special because they represent a wide range of abilities and interests, yet they all work together to create a positive, encouraging environment.

The Keppi 1200LB Weight benches will make a significant difference in their learning by giving them access to safe, adjustable, and durable equipment for strength training.

These benches will allow students to perform exercises like bench presses, incline presses, and sit-ups with proper form, helping them build strength and confidence. The removable foot catch and multiple adjustable positions ensure that all students can use the benches effectively, regardless of their fitness level.

My goal for this project is to enhance our weight training program with quality equipment that supports a full range of exercises and accommodates all students. By providing these resources, I hope to teach them not only the fundamentals of strength training but also the importance of perseverance, discipline, and maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle. With your support, my students will gain more than just physical fitness—they’ll develop skills and habits that will benefit them for a lifetime.
