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

At WHS, we serve a vibrant community of Indigenous and low-income students who face many challenges in and outside the classroom. Many of our students lack access to the resources they need to compete in today’s digital world. We are seeking your support to provide e-sports equipment that will give our students the opportunity to develop skills in teamwork, problem-solving, and technology.

E-sports not only foster a sense of community but also provide students with opportunities for scholarships, career paths in game design, streaming, and more.

These activities help students build confidence, learn about perseverance, and most importantly, create a space for them to excel.

With your generous donation, we can purchase the necessary equipment, such as chargers, controllers,etc, that will allow our students to participate in local and regional e-sports events. This will also enable us to establish an after-school program dedicated to e-sports, where students can learn how to work together, strategize, and hone skills that will benefit them both academically and professionally.
