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.

Serve it. Smash it. Win it. Love it. I teach in a high-need area in NYC. Many of my students' only opportunities for team sports/activities are in my gymnasium.

My students are always asking me if they can learn volleyball, pickleball and badminton. Unfortunately, I do not have the rackets or balls to accommodate them.

I need 24 badminton rackets to teach my students striking skills; 24 volleyball trainers/beach balls to teach them volleyball skills; 24 paddles to teach them paddle sports and 2 bean bag targets to help teach my kids about accuracy, aiming, and force.

You help will ensure my students an opportunity to participate in skills that they would not normally be exposed to. It is important for students to experience a variety of sports, skills and activities to find the one that will enable them to be life-long movers!
