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

If you know anything about elementary school kids, you know that they eat up recess equipment like Hot Cheetos! This project is meant to help us refresh our recess equipment mid-year and give these students a fun, healthy outlet for their energy during their short recess time.

We are asking for the essentials: four square balls, volleyballs, and basketballs (among other things) and hope you can help our kids thrive outside!

This kind of equipment helps keep students off of their phones and into something active. We love having an active, safe environment at our school where we can support students' physical, emotional, and mental health!
