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

At our library, we are always looking for innovative ways to engage our students. The library is the heart of the school, and is a great place for students to connect with each other, not only through academic studies, but in the context of fun activities.

Esports are an excellent way to promote school spirit and provide students with the opportunity to collaborate, compete, practice critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and to give students a sense of belonging and acceptance.

Many students have been eagerly planning and asking for the opportunity to participate in esports tournaments or socials, and this project would allow us to engage not only at our campus, but with other schools in our area.
