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 how determined my students are to improve their fitness and strength, even when faced with challenges. They show up ready to work hard and cheer each other on, creating a supportive and positive environment. My students are special because they come from diverse backgrounds and abilities, yet they all strive to grow together and celebrate each other's progress.

The MANUEKLEAR bench press bands will make a significant difference in their learning by providing the assistance many of my students need to perform pushups.

Pushups are a fundamental strength exercise, but for some students, they can feel overwhelming. These bands will help reduce the strain, allowing students to focus on proper form, gradually building their upper body strength and confidence.

My goal for this project is to give all students, regardless of their fitness level, the opportunity to successfully perform pushups and engage in other strength-building activities. With the assistance of these bands, my students will develop not only physical strength but also perseverance and a sense of accomplishment. Your support will help create an environment where every student feels capable and motivated to reach their fitness goals!
