Your thoughtful contribution has already made a meaningful difference in the lives of our young learners, and I want to take a moment to share just how much it has impacted our gym community.\r\n\r\nIn our physical education classes, staying hydrated is an essential part of learning healthy habits. Many of our students participate in high-energy activities every day—running, jumping, playing, and growing stronger together. Thanks to your donation, every student now has access to a clean, reusable water bottle, ensuring they can stay hydrated and healthy while participating fully in class. For some of our students, this simple item represents much more than just a bottle—it's a symbol of belonging, care, and support from someone who values their well-being.\r\n\r\nYour gift also aligns beautifully with our goal of promoting lifelong health and wellness. Having personal water bottles encourages students to take responsibility for their hydration, practice environmental stewardship by reducing single-use plastic waste, and understand the importance of caring for their bodies. It's wonderful to see students proudly carrying their bottles to class each day, filling them up before activities, and encouraging one another to take water breaks. This small but powerful shift has sparked conversations about healthy habits and sustainability, which are lessons that go far beyond the gym walls.\r\n\r\nYour generosity reminds our students that their community supports them—not just in academics, but in all aspects of their growth and development. When they see that someone took the time and resources to invest in their health, it helps them feel valued and motivated. You've shown them what kindness looks like in action, and that's a lesson they will remember long after this school year ends.\r\n\r\nPlease know that your contribution has had a lasting impact not only on our students' physical health but also on their sense of community. Every time they take a sip of water after a game of tag, a relay race, or a challenging fitness station, they are benefiting from your generosity.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students, I extend our warmest thanks for supporting our physical education program. Your donation is a shining example of how one thoughtful act can ripple outward to touch many lives. We are so grateful for your partnership and for your commitment to helping our students develop healthy habits that will serve them for a lifetime.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your kindness and support. You've made a real difference in our gym, our school, and our students' lives.","fullyFundedDate":1705505307161,"projectUrl":"project/water-bottles/8109546/","projectTitle":"Water Bottles","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sirota","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2756860"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_5639","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":113,"numTeachers":8,"percentFrplEligible":79,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":94,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"14.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.6,"schoolId":5639,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Jackie Robinson Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Jackie Robinson Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/chicago-public-school-district-299/jackie-robinson-elementary-school/5639"}
