Your commitment to their well-being is truly inspiring.\r\n\r\nWe understand that you chose to direct your support specifically to this initiative, and we want to share with you the profound impact your gift is already having. The treadmills have become a vital resource for our students, offering a tangible way to manage stress, improve their mental health, and boost their overall well-being.\r\n\r\nBefore your generous donation, many of our students struggled with anxiety, difficulty focusing, low self esteem, and a lack of physical activity. These challenges often impacted their academic performance, social interactions, and overall sense of self. Now, thanks to you, they have a healthy outlet.\r\n\r\nWe've already seen a noticeable decrease in students reporting feeling overwhelmed or anxious, particularly during stressful periods like exam weeks. The treadmills provide a healthy escape and allow them to release pent-up energy. Some teachers have reported that students who use the treadmills before class are more focused and engaged in learning. They're better able to concentrate and retain information.\r\nFor many students, these treadmills provide their primary source of exercise. They're developing healthy habits that will benefit them for a lifetime. The students have expressed their gratitude for this resource. One student shared, 'The treadmill helps me clear my head and feel less stressed before a big test.' \r\n\r\nYour gift has not only provided treadmills; it has provided a pathway to better mental and physical health for our students. You have invested in their future, and we are incredibly grateful for your partnership.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your extraordinary generosity. You are making a real difference in the lives of our students.","fullyFundedDate":1727809447384,"projectUrl":"project/support-students-mental-health-and-activ/8843530/","projectTitle":"Support Students Mental Health and Activity Levels","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. O'Toole","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9785515_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y725&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728999658982","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9785515"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_23830","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":742,"numTeachers":60,"percentFrplEligible":9,"percentAsian":21,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":53,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":null,"schoolId":23830,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ardsley High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ardsley High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/ardsley-union-free-school-district/ardsley-high-school/23830"}
