With the technology and equipment you helped provide, our students now have access to a high-level competitive and collaborative gaming environment. The room setups—with Nintendo Switches, PS5s, Spectrum Esports furniture, wall-mounted displays, and high-performance laptops—have completely transformed how our students learn and connect with each other. Students aren't just playing games; they're building strategies, communicating under pressure, problem-solving in real time, and showing up excited to learn.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting things for our students is the opportunity to use the same kind of tools and setups they see in real esports arenas or college labs. They've been especially drawn to the team-based games like Rocket League, Super Smash Bros., and F1, and it's been amazing to see how inclusive the environment has become. Even students who were previously quiet or hesitant to engage have found a home in esports—whether they're playing, coaching, analyzing gameplay, or helping stream tournaments using OBS and other software. One student told me, \"This is the first time I feel like I belong to something at school.\" That says it all.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our students now see esports as more than just fun—it's a path to college, careers, and community. Thank you for investing in our program and believing in what these kids can do when given the right tools.","fullyFundedDate":1742971819725,"projectUrl":"project/building-champions-a-ps5-for-our-esport/9173303/","projectTitle":"Building Champions: a Ps5 for Our Esports Team","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Hernandez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4468929_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1504722285373","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/j-hernandez-stem"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_33953","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":831,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":96,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"7 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"30.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.1,"schoolId":33953,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cesar Chavez Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cesar Chavez Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/lynwood-unified-school-district/cesar-chavez-middle-school/33953"}
