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

As we work to encourage active lifestyles and physical fitness among our middle school students, we are seeking donations of fitness supplies to enhance our curriculum and support our students' development.

Our program serves approximately 200 students, many of whom are eager to participate in physical activities that promote teamwork, coordination, and overall wellness.

However, our current equipment is limited, and we are in need of items such as fitness mats for exercises and stretching, resistance bands for strength training, jump ropes for cardiovascular activities, and basketballs and footballs for team sports.

Your generous donation would greatly impact our ability to provide high-quality physical education experiences that can help our students develop lifelong healthy habits.
