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

We are requesting 25 yoga mats and blocks for our middle school students. Yoga has been proven to support middle school students with academic performance, self confidence and regulating emotions. We would like to provide our students an opportunity to use the practice of yoga as a vehicle to overcome feelings of stress and anxiety.

Many of our students are lower socio economic status, live in shelters or are doubled up with family members.

There is a great deal of food and housing insecurity in our community. Although our students are resilient they are faced with many hardships and challenges which can result in stress and anxiety.

The 25 yoga mats and blocks will be used in a yoga program weekly. The yoga program will teach meditation and the practice of yoga on a weekly basis.
