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

As you may know, our Argo E Lounge has become a vibrant hub for students who are passionate about competitive gaming. We are continually seeking ways to expand availability and provide our students with the best possible experience.

Our goal is to provide additional seating in the Argo E Lounge for our students.

This addition will allow more of our students to participate in a wide range of esports activities.

To make this a reality, we are reaching out to generous supporters like you for assistance. We aim to raise funds to purchase four bean bag chairs. Your donation, no matter the amount, will make a significant impact on our students and their ability to explore gaming opportunities.

Your support will help us:

- Expand the seats in the esports lounge available to our students.

- Encourage teamwork, strategic thinking, and healthy competition.

- Create a more inclusive environment where more students can find games they enjoy.

We deeply appreciate any contribution you can make to help us reach our goal. Donations can be made via DonorsChoose, and all funds will go directly towards enhancing our esports lounge.

Thank you for considering our request. With your help, we can continue to foster a love for esports and provide our students with the tools they need to succeed both in gaming and in life.
