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

Welcome to the NEW ERA of Physical Education. I would love to have Zume Pickle Ball, Zume Badminton, and Weather Bean Bag Toss Cornhole for our PE program as well as Champion Ball Rack to teach our students the new and upcoming games in the United States. Our students need to be introduced to and taught these new games that are taking notice in today's society for enjoyment and in sports. Teaching students to play pickleball, one of America's fastest-growing sports would be a dream come true in the area I currently teach. An 'addictive' game that won't stop growing, most of pickleball's core players, those who play more than eight times per year, according to USA Pickleball. But with so many new players, the U.S. is struggling to keep up with demand for courts. We also would like to introduce the students to Badminton and Corn Hole, which is another popular game in the U.S. Our students in our community are economically at a disadvantage and within our school district, we do not have the funds for our school to help purchase any equipment we want for our students. Please help if you are able to help our school!
