🎮⭐ HELP OUR E-SPORTS TEAM LEVEL UP! ⭐🎮

Our Project RISE After-School E-Sports Club has been a big hit with our students, and we would love to continue growing the opportunities available to them!

While E-Sports is an enrichment activity we are excited to offer, 21st CCLC grant funds cannot be used to purchase E-Sports gaming equipment. That’s where community support can make a BIG difference! ❤️

Mr. Johnson has created a DonorsChoose project to help us purchase additional equipment for our students.

E-Sports is more than playing games. Students practice teamwork, communication, problem-solving, perseverance, responsibility, and good sportsmanship while being part of a team and working toward shared goals.

🎮 Want to help our students LEVEL UP?

Check out our DonorsChoose project and consider donating or sharing. Every donation gets us one step closer!

🌅PROJECT RISE🌅
Our name says exactly what we want for our students: Project RISE — Reaching Individual Success through Enrichment! ❤️💛

Enrichment is so much more than just having fun! It gives students opportunities to discover new interests, be creative, build confidence, solve problems, work together, and find something that makes them excited to come back each day.

And our students have been BUSY! 🙌

🎨 Creative Arts Clubs enjoyed directed drawings, creating, and some much-loved free drawing time.

🏃 RISE Fitness & Fun Clubs got students moving, playing, and learning through active fun.

🎮 RISE Shadow Cubs E-Sports Club combined technology, teamwork, strategy, and some friendly competition!

🎲 RISE Builders & Board Games Clubs built, created, and practiced problem-solving through board and card games.

🌱 RISE Farm to Table Clubs got creative making papier-mâché farm animals and learning through hands-on activities.

📚🧱 RISE LEGOs & Literacy Club brought reading, imagination, building, and creativity together.

🔎 RISE Little Learners Club gave our Pre-K students opportunities to explore, play, create, and discover—including the excitement of discovering View-Masters!

This is what Project RISE is all about—giving students opportunities to explore, create, discover, lead, and grow while finding new interests and talents along the way. 🌟

❤️💛 Reaching Individual Success through Enrichment!

📚 Your library card can do a lot. 📚

Of course, it gets you books—but that’s just the beginning! Depending on your local library, your card may connect you to eBooks and audiobooks, movies and music, online learning, research resources, technology, job and career help, programs, activities, and more.

And the best part? Getting started is easy.

Don’t have a library card? Find your local Oklahoma library and sign up this September: Oklahoma.gov/libraries/find
