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

I am delighted to share the exciting news about initiating our new ESports program at our Middle School. As a trauma-informed educator, I am convinced this opportunity will bring many advantages for our students, especially those who have experienced trauma in and out of a school setting. ESports presents a secure and all-encompassing space where students can participate in healthy competition while nurturing their critical thinking abilities and fostering teamwork skills. Moreover, it catalyzes a strong sense of community within our school, providing a supportive environment for all students. Additionally, the program offers valuable access to technology, aiding students in developing essential digital literacy skills that are increasingly vital in our rapidly evolving world.

As a trauma-informed educator, I am thrilled to emphasize that our ESports program warmly welcomes all students, irrespective of their athletic prowess or personal interests.

This program will offer an enjoyable and captivating activity for our diverse student body, providing a safe and inclusive platform to explore their passions and foster meaningful connections with staff and colleagues.

I kindly urge all to extend their support to this program and contemplate the possibility of making donations to assist us in providing our students with essential resources such as PlayStation consoles, controllers, and charging stations. Doing so can empower our students to embark on a transformative journey toward growth and achievement in the 21st century.
