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 Students

Think back to junior high. Now think about your PE class in junior high. Overcrowded, and over focused on core sports like baseball, football, and basketball. My students face similar challenges. We try to involve all students, but we are hindered by a lack of space and supplies.

The students at my school are so thirsty for any physical activity.

Many have no athletic experience outside of school and some did not even have PE in elementary school. We fear that these students just do not have the resources or knowledge base to ensure long and healthy lives. Our school is lower income middle school in NYC. Like other similar urban schools, our students have adult responsibilities that keep them from exploring sports and fitness after school. Although we offer 6 team sports a year for students we don't reach nearly as many as needed.

My Project

An average PE class at my school is 150 students. Right now we struggle to get everyone involved. Picture all these students waiting for a turn at a lay up line or sprinting heat. These resistance bands will give a chance to give an alternate activity for students that until this is funded will have to wait to get any exercise. Through these bands we hope to instill in our students the notion that you don't have to be on a team to stay in shape. We also hope to show them how resistance exercise can help develop muscles necessary to excel at sports. Lastly, we feel the bands are versatile enough to keep students engaged in our activities as well as creatively involved in their own routines.

Again we urge you to think of your own junior high PE class.

Think about how much more enjoyable it could have been if you had an outlet outside of sports that could have improved your body. Imagine your improved shape and confidence as you could actually continue to work for a whole period instead of touching a ball or bat 3 times in a period. Now think of us and please help us to make this project a reality
