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

The PE department is asking for more Gator balls. Gator balls are soft-covered PE balls that are used for many PE favorite games and for partner activities. They haven't been replaced in a while and we need some new ones.

Gator balls are used by every grade level.

Some examples of some favorite PE games that require gator balls are "Touchdown Tag" and "Catch A Star". "Catch a Star" and "Touchdown Tag" are some of the children's favorite games and are played by students in every grade level.

Having more gator balls would ensure that students will have more fun playing these games! Thank you so much for helping out the PE program!
