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

I am reaching out on behalf of my middle school where we are dedicated to fostering a vibrant eSports community and providing our players with the best opportunities to develop their skills and teamwork. All my students are on Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) who experience social-emotional difficulties.

Our club aims to create a supportive environment where students can connect with one another, develop essential skills, and collaborate as a team.

To achieve these goals, we are seeking donations to help us acquire necessary equipment, including gaming consoles, headsets, and games.

Your generous support would make a significant impact on our ability to create meaningful connections among students and promote a spirit of cooperation and sportsmanship. We believe that eSports can play a vital role in personal and social development, and with your help, we can elevate our club's activities.
