  • Give Our Students the Hands-on Experience of Esports Gaming!

    Funded Nov 4, 2024

    We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of our esports program. Thanks to your contributions, we have been able to acquire additional controllers, which not only enhances our gaming experience but also enriches the educational opportunities available to our students. Your unwavering commitment to fostering growth in our community has made a significant impact, allowing our players to engage in a realm where critical thinking, teamwork, and technological skills are paramount.

    Through our esports initiative, we are proud to provide our students with a platform to explore and flourish in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). The skills acquired in esports, such as strategic planning, problem-solving, and collaboration, directly correlate to the competencies necessary for success in today's rapidly evolving technological landscape. By participating in this program, students not only have the chance to excel in competitive gaming but also to ignite their passion for STEM fields, laying the foundation for their future careers.

    Your support goes beyond just purchasing controllers; it empowers our students to reach for their dreams while helping bridge the gap between gaming and education. As we continue this journey together, we are reminded of the words of Winston Churchill: "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." Thank you for choosing to invest in the futures of our young innovators and for believing in the potential of our esports program.”

  • Future in Aviation: Help Fund Flight and Space Simulation PCs!

    Funded Sep 18, 2024

    We are immensely grateful for your generous contributions that have enabled us to acquire new gaming PCs for our program. Thanks to your support, we have been able to elevate our students' learning experiences in ways we never thought possible. Just recently, we built a small flight simulator using a flightstick, which has sparked excitement and creativity among our students. The hands-on experience of piloting a virtual aircraft has not only deepened their understanding of aviation but has also nurtured essential skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, and critical thinking.

    The new technology and resources you have provided are making a significant impact on our students. They are now able to explore subjects like physics, engineering, and computer science in a much richer, interactive manner. With the advanced capabilities of these gaming PCs, our students can engage in simulations that bring these concepts to life, fostering a deeper appreciation and passion for STEM fields. The enthusiasm we see in their eyes as they navigate complex scenarios is a testament to the transformative power of technology in education.

    Your kindness and vision for our students' futures are truly inspiring. As the saying goes, "No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." Your support is planting seeds of possibility and growth in the hearts and minds of our students, and we cannot thank you enough for believing in our mission. Together, we are shaping tomorrow's innovators and leaders, and for that, we are forever grateful.”

  • Take Our Video Game Club Into the Modern Esports World!

    Funded Mar 13, 2024

    Dear Family, Friends, and Riot Games,

    From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your generous donations that made it possible to purchase a gaming PC for our students in need. This gift will have a profound impact on their lives, both inside and outside of the classroom. As Nelson Mandela once said, "There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living." We went big and now our students can live out their competitive gaming dreams. This gaming PC will allow our students to explore their passions, develop their skills, and reach their full potential. For many of our students, gaming is more than just a pastime. It is a way to connect with friends, learn new skills, and escape from the challenges of everyday life. This gaming PC will provide them with a much-needed outlet for their creativity and imagination. We are confident that this gaming PC will make a real difference in the lives of our students. Thank you again for your generosity and support.”

Many of the students at my school are on "free or reduced lunch," meaning that it is a high-poverty population. The students enrolled in the program are in 11th and 12th, and we meet after-school once a week for an hour. There are approximately 20 students enrolled. They are highly motivated and enthusiastic when it comes to learning these instruments, with several of them coming into the music room before school for additional practice. We have a wide range of playing levels among the students, from absolute beginners to intermediate-level guitarists.
