My Project

Dear Donors,

We are thrilled to introduce our ambitious project aimed at establishing an esports program at RGCHS.

In an era where digital literacy and technology-driven skills are paramount, we believe that esports offers a unique avenue for student engagement, skill development, and community building.

Project Overview:

Our proposal entails the creation of a dedicated esports space within our school, equipped with Nintendo Switch consoles and gaming setups to kickstart our inaugural esports season thru PlayVS Texas/Central Region League. This initiative aligns with our commitment to providing diverse opportunities for student involvement and fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration.

Project Components:

Nintendo Switch Consoles: We aim to acquire 4 Nintendo Switch consoles to facilitate competitive gameplay and training sessions.

Gaming Setups: Each console will be complemented with essential gaming peripherals, including controllers, and monitors, to optimize the gaming experience for our students.

Esports Space Furnishing: We plan to designate a dedicated area within my classroom, equipped with ergonomic seating, and storage units to create a conducive environment for esports activities.

We recognize that implementing an esports program is an investment in the future of our students, and we are committed to ensuring its sustainability and success. With your generous support, we can provide our students with a transformative gaming experience that enhances their academic journey and prepares them for the digital landscape of tomorrow.

Thank you for considering our proposal and for your continued dedication to supporting educational initiatives. Together, we can empower our students to level up both in and out of the classroom!

Sincerely,

Bridgette
