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

Sports is a vital part of students mental health. Studies show that students thrive when they are playing sports after school. Our school is in need of some equipment to help support our sports teams. Playing on sports teams help students build a sense of self, they find their “I” in team. Students develop better overall habits. It is known that students who identify on team sports have a better sense of self worth. Students gain more than physical benefits from playing on sports teams. The benefit of mental health that sports have on students is a known fact. Self esteem greatly impacts how our players perform on and off the court. Helping us gain basketballs and training equipment will help our students positive mental health. Basketball in our school is one of the few things that students really look forward to and thrive competing in. Knowing they can confidently perform with the use of hood equipment will greatly impact our school.
