The day the new Blaze Pod Agility Lights and Bowflex Curl Bar arrived, you could feel the energy in the air. The students' eyes lit up as they saw the new equipment, and their first reaction was pure, uncontainable joy. There were cheers, high-fives, and a collective buzz of \"Can we try them out now?!\" Your generosity didn't just provide us with new materials—it ignited a spark of motivation and a newfound love for fitness in every single student.\r\n\r\nSince then, our classroom has been transformed into a vibrant fitness lab. The new resources are being used in our \"Ultimate Agility Challenge\" project, where students are working in teams to design and complete obstacle courses. The collaboration has been phenomenal. Just last week, I watched a student who often struggles with confidence take the lead, meticulously programming the agility lights and then demonstrating perfect form with the curl bar. The look of triumph on their face when they successfully completed their course was a moment I will never forget. You have empowered my students to become stronger and more confident, and the hands-on learning is more engaging and impactful than I could have ever imagined.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for this project are even more exciting! Over the next two weeks, the teams will be refining their obstacle courses and adding new components, like integrating the curl bar into their agility routines. They'll be presenting their final challenge in a class-wide \"Fit-a-Thon,\" where they'll demonstrate their creations to their peers. We are also already brainstorming our next project, which will involve using the equipment to track individual progress and create personalized workout plans. Thank you again for giving my students this amazing opportunity to learn and grow. Your support is making a real difference, and we couldn't be more grateful!","fullyFundedDate":1746787426917,"projectUrl":"project/hawks-hustle-speed-strength-skill-s/9306514/","projectTitle":"Hawks Hustle: Speed, Strength, & Skill Showdown!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Patterson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5057623_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1614513599706","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5057623"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_131230","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":403,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":53,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":39,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 7","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":131230,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Idea Academy - Bassett on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Idea Academy - Bassett","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/duval-county-public-schools/idea-academy-bassett/131230"}
