The cardio drumming equipment you helped fund has transformed our gym into a place where movement, music, and joy collide. The students' eyes light up as soon as the music starts, and the sound of dozens of drumsticks hitting in unison fills the room with excitement. What was once just \"exercise\" is now a full-body, full-smile workout that kids look forward to every week.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been incredible—students who were hesitant to participate in traditional sports are now fully engaged, drumming their hearts out alongside their classmates. The beat helps them keep pace, the routines challenge their coordination, and the group atmosphere builds a sense of teamwork and belonging. It's amazing to see them laughing, sweating, and encouraging each other without even realizing how much exercise they're getting.\r\n\r\nYour support didn't just buy equipment—it created a new way for our kids to discover the joy of movement, music, and healthy living. You've given them a reason to get active, to feel confident in their abilities, and to experience the power of working in rhythm with others. From all of us—students and teachers alike—thank you for making our cardio drumming dream a reality. You've helped us strike a chord that will keep echoing long after the final beat. 🥁💙","fullyFundedDate":1746787421167,"projectUrl":"project/cardio-drumming-for-all-students-in-pe/9075257/","projectTitle":"Cardio Drumming for ALL Students in PE!","teacherDisplayName":"Coach K","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8570760_orig.jpg?crop=750,750,x0,y80&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1678073505472","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8570760"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_8887","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":540,"numTeachers":46,"percentFrplEligible":56,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":40,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":27,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"11.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.3,"schoolId":8887,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Doris Cullins - Lake Pointe Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Doris Cullins - Lake Pointe Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/rockwall-independent-school-district/doris-cullins-lake-pointe-elementary-school/8887"}
