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

My 3rd grade class loves to move, play, and express themselves through sports and music. With your support, I hope to provide them with updated sports equipment that will keep them active, engaged, and learning valuable teamwork skills during physical education and recess.

Many of my students don't have access to sports gear at home, so school is where they get to experience the joy of movement and the benefits of exercise.

With items like balls, jump rope, and hula hoops, they will be able to participate in organized games that teach cooperation, perseverance, and confidence.

I've also included a Bluetooth speaker because my students love listening to music! Whether it's a movement break, a class celebration, or just to boost their mood while working, music brings them joy and connection. Having a quality speaker will let us enjoy songs together and create more vibrant, inspiring learning environment.

Your donation will help create an atmosphere where kids can move their bodies, build social- emotional skills, and have fun while learning. Thank you for helping us grow strong in body, heart, and mind!
