What may seem like a Nintendo Switch, controllers, and a copy of Mario Kart to some may seem like so much more to our students. You have given them an opportunity to learn, connect, challenge themselves, and be part of something bigger than just a game.\r\n\r\nAs an after-school esports team, our goal has always been to create a space where students can discover their strengths, build confidence, develop teamwork and problem-solving skills, and experience the excitement of working toward a common goal. For some of our students, opportunities like this mean more than we could ever put into words. It gives them something to look forward to, something to be proud of, and a place where they can feel included, valued, and celebrated. Seeing their excitement as they unpacked their new equipment was a reminder that sometimes the smallest acts of generosity create the biggest smiles and the most meaningful memories. We are especially excited to take this next step as our students prepare to participate in their very first esports tournament!\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students, believing in their abilities, and helping us show them that their interests, talents, and dreams matter. You didn't just help us build an esports team; you helped create opportunities, memories, friendships, and confidence that our students will carry with them long after the controllers are put away. We hope you know just how much of a difference you have made. From our students and our entire Guerra Wolverines family, THANK YOU for helping our Wolverines power up and show the world what they can do!","fullyFundedDate":1792414909277,"projectUrl":"project/powering-our-esports-team-game-on-wolv/10721551/","projectTitle":"Powering Our eSports Team: Game On, Wolverines!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Leal","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10557090_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1787277152501","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10557090"},{"teacherId":9903386,"projectId":9699330,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation! We have phonics time in the morning and it has been so great to have my students sit in the carpet during this time. They love it! I have also used the bean bags as an incentive that they can use them during technology time if they behave. The carpet allows me to teach them all together in one group without any distractions so it has been great. The kids really look forward to carpet time because it has them moving and sitting else where instead of their desk. It has increased their engagement during lessons. When we got our carpet I waited for the students to walk in the morning so they could unbox it with me, they were so happy and so thankful. When we got the carpet, it was actually kindness week so I told them how it was really kind and it inspired them to do different acts of kindness to those around them.
