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 equipment I am requesting is to begin a brand new physical education program at a new school. Teaching to the little ones from two to five years old all about movement. This is the first time ever in a school for some, and meeting new friends for all. Giving them excitement and joy of being here with some basic physical education equipment would make their school year special.

I have the pleasure to introduce the importance of movement and healthy habits, through exploration.

With scarfs, ribbons, and fun throwing activity with safe foam balls. I am excited to support all my student with different equipment!
