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 requested playground and PE equipment, including playground balls, field paint, and markers, will be game-changers for our students. COVID-19 and the lack of in-person learning have left them in need of physical activity and engagement. This equipment will provide vital opportunities for active, socially distanced play, relieving the stress and anxiety that students have experienced.

Furthermore, these resources will have a direct impact on our students' academic growth and overall well-being.

Using markers and field paint for interactive educational activities will make learning more engaging. Your generous donation will ensure every student's access to these resources, supporting their well-being and academic advancement amid and beyond the pandemic.
