Celebrating 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
Our students are passionate, curious, and eager to learn in creative ways. They thrive when given opportunities to engage in teamwork, strategy, and critical thinking, which is why our eSports Club has become such an exciting space for them.
This project will provide a Nintendo Switch, games, controllers, an online membership, and team shirts, all essential for expanding their learning through gaming.
These resources will allow more students to participate, collaborate, and develop key skills like problem-solving, decision-making, and communication in a fun and engaging environment.
Our goal is to create an inclusive space where students feel confident and motivated to compete, strategize, and grow together. Many of our students face daily challenges, and this club offers them a supportive community where they can build resilience, sportsmanship, and leadership skills.
With these resources, we can increase participation, host tournaments, and foster a sense of belonging among students who might not otherwise have access to structured extracurricular activities. Every donation brings us closer to empowering our students with skills that extend far beyond the game.
Thank you for supporting our future leaders, problem-solvers, and innovators!
