With your help, we were able to purchase Xbox gaming systems, and the difference they've made for our students is incredible. These systems have opened up so many new opportunities for learning and growth that we simply couldn't offer before. For many of our kids, this club has become more than just a place to play games, it's a chance to develop skills like teamwork, critical thinking, and leadership in a fun, welcoming environment.\r\n\r\nThe students are absolutely loving the new games we're able to play together! Rocket League has been a huge hit, teaching them how to communicate and collaborate under pressure, while Minecraft has been an amazing outlet for their creativity and problem-solving. EA Sports College Football 25 has sparked some great conversations about college sports and even what their own futures might hold. Seeing their excitement and enthusiasm grow every week has been such a joy.\r\n\r\nOne student, Cody, has especially stood out since we got the Xbox systems. They were pretty reserved at the start of the year, but now they're stepping up as a leader during matches, encouraging teammates and helping strategize. It's been amazing to watch their confidence grow, and I know it's because of the opportunities you've helped create.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has truly made an impact, and we're so grateful to have your support. Because of you, our students have a space to learn, grow, and thrive, and for that, I can't thank you enough.","fullyFundedDate":1730223675053,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-future-leaders-through-esport/8668293/","projectTitle":"Empowering Future Leaders Through Esports and Educational Gaming","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Mallah","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8125940_orig.png?crop=1441,1441,x193,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660183535467","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8125940"},{"teacherId":7190056,"projectId":8491238,"letterContent":"Prior to funding this project we had very few tripods for classes 25+ students.
