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

If our school had this equipment it would drastically improve the quality of our volleyball program and our physical education classes.

When our students have free-fitness days they rush up to get the volleyballs but some students end up feeling left out once all the volleyballs are taken.

If we had enough volleyballs for everyone I think a lot more students would engage in the sport and feel comfortable to practice freely. Also, many of our students may not have the means to purchase knee pads on their own so it would be amazing to help our students learn how to properly use knee pads.

If you are reading this, thank you so much for your time and consideration!
