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 students thrive when given opportunities to move, play, and connect with each other, especially in today's fast-paced, technology-driven world. As a physical education teacher, I see firsthand the positive impact that physical activity has on students' mental health. However, we currently lack sufficient equipment to fully engage all students in our lessons and provide diverse, meaningful physical activities that promote teamwork, self-confidence, and stress relief.

With your generous support, I aim to equip our PE class with essential items such as volleyballs, footballs, pinnies, and other tools for fitness and cooperative games.

These resources will enable us to create inclusive, engaging activities that address not only physical health but also social-emotional well-being. Studies show that regular physical activity can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and boost overall mental health. By fostering teamwork and providing students with a healthy outlet for stress, we can help them develop critical coping skills that extend beyond the gym.

Your donation will directly impact our ability to create a safe, supportive environment where students feel empowered to succeed physically, socially, and emotionally. Thank you for helping us prioritize student wellness and build a healthier, happier future!
