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 project will help support our Elementary running team that compete with other Elementary teams in our district. These large workout mats will be used in the running team workout room. In there the athletes will be able to use the treadmills, kettlebells, and medicine balls. In which they will be able to use various equipment to work on their strength training program

The key for young athletes is to build a strong foundation of strength that will carry over to improve their sports performance.

This workout room will allow us to incorporate strength training for runners is the efficiency of providing a well-rounded strength-training session to target major muscles in a short amount of time.
