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 school is fundraising to purchase hula hoops and volleyballs for use during PE classes and recess.

Physical education is such an important part of a well-rounded education, keeping kids active and teaching them healthy lifelong habits.

However, with school budget constraints, we don't always have enough equipment to engage all students. The hula hoops and volleyballs requested in this fundraiser will allow more students to participate actively during PE with popular activities that build coordination, balance, teamwork skills, and more.

Your donation through DonorsChoose will directly fund the purchase of this equipment so our students have what they need to keep their minds and bodies active. Any amount you can contribute will make a difference!

On behalf of the students and staff at McCall Elementary, thank you for considering our project. We greatly appreciate your support for physical education and our students' health and development. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this fundraiser or our PE program needs.

Mr. Duenas Gen George A McCall School Grades 6-8
