First and foremost, your generosity showed them that they matter and are valued by people they haven't even met. That realization brings a sense of pride, commitment, and higher expectations into their lives.\r\nThe healthy snacks helped nourish the athletes before and after practice when they needed a pick-me-up or something to replenish them. The enjoyed the variety of snacks, there was something for everyone. The Gatorades were also a welcome treat. The athletes loved the taste.\r\nThe walkie-talkies help tremendously with communication between parents, athlete, and myself before, during, and after races. You always hope you never have to use a first aid kit, but you're incredibly grateful to have one when it's needed. Fortunately, I didn't have to use it this time, but the peace of mind it provided was immeasurable.","fullyFundedDate":1757375887206,"projectUrl":"project/stride-beyond-limits/9687925/","projectTitle":"Stride Beyond Limits","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Bond","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10243754_orig.jpg?crop=1698,1698,x0,y988&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757100142261","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10243754"},{"teacherId":1096291,"projectId":9538146,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our grant, Set Up for Success: Supplies to Support Student Engagement! Your kindness has made a tangible difference in our classroom, and I'm excited to share how we've been putting these resources to use.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment my students saw the new supplies—fruit snacks, whiteboard markers, Play-Doh, tissues, bandages, and Clorox wipes—they were thrilled. One student asked, \"Is all this really for us?\" Their eyes lit up at the sight of the Play-Doh, and they immediately began using it during calm-down times and for hands-on learning activities. It's become one of their favorite tools for focus and creativity.\r\n\r\nThe fruit snacks have been a huge hit as a form of positive reinforcement. Whether it's staying engaged during a challenging lesson or showing kindness to a classmate, these little treats have helped us celebrate and encourage outstanding behavior in a meaningful way.","fullyFundedDate":1755722976106,"projectUrl":"project/set-up-for-success-supplies-to-support/9538146/","projectTitle":"Set Up for Success: Supplies to Support Student Engagement","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sanders","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1096291_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1457660516350","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/x-sanders"},{"teacherId":1096291,"projectId":9294210,"letterContent":"Thank you once again for supporting my Donors Choose project, \"Lasting Victories: Powering Through Year-End Goals.\" The students were excited to learn that the project became fully funded, and more excited when the materials arrived.

In the past, we've really struggled because we didn't have the proper equipment to train. Without things like hurdles, training parachutes, or even reliable stopwatches, our practices were often limited to basic drills, and we couldn't give our athletes the full experience they deserved. It was frustrating because we knew we weren't reaching our potential, but there wasn't much we could do with the resources we had.\r\n\r\nNow, though, it feels like a whole new world. Thanks to the amazing support from the DonorsChoose community, we've got all these incredible tools that make such a difference: adjustable hurdles, speed training parachutes, and even a collapsible wagon to carry everything around. We finally have what we need to help our athletes push themselves and grow. It's like a weight has been lifted off our shoulders. And the stopwatch timers? They've made timing sprints so much more accurate, which is huge for tracking progress.\r\n\r\nBut honestly, what hits us the most is knowing that there's a whole community out there that believes in us. It's not just about the equipment; it's about the fact that people care enough to invest in our team's success. It's a huge boost, and it makes us feel like we're not alone in this. We're incredibly grateful, and this support has fired us up to give it everything we've got. We're more motivated than ever to make the most of these opportunities and show what we can do.","fullyFundedDate":1726726106085,"projectUrl":"project/rev-up-our-runners/8716931/","projectTitle":"Rev Up Our Runners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bartee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6725648_orig.jpg?crop=640,640,x0,y100&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1572973327902","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6725648"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_94649","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":626,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":68,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":74,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"18.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.2,"schoolId":94649,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cesar Chavez Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cesar Chavez Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/oceanside-unified-school-district/cesar-chavez-middle-school/94649"}
