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

Since COVID ended students are having a hard time interacting with one another and attendance rates have dropped. eSports allows students to come together to do their favorite thing, play video games! eSports club is a chance for middle school students to get together and play games.

In eSports students have to opportunity to learn sportsmanship, cooperation, and companionship.

By funding this project you are providing games and equipment for students to use. eSports club gives students a safe place to go after school that is accepting of everyone!

Thank you!
