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

This year has been a challenge. I would like to have Sports Ball organizer and hula hoop and jump rope organizer to transport fun and educational equipment for my students.

I would like to have brand new, quality soccer balls and goal posts for my 3rd-5th grade students to play and learn the fundamental sport of soccer.

In Soccer, students learn teamwork, foot eye coordination, balance, dribbling skills and how to be a good team player.

With your support I hope to have these supplies readily available for my upper grade students.
