Your support has made a huge difference in our gym classes. We are truly grateful for your generosity. This donation that you have given to us will greatly enhance our ability to promote health, fitness, and well-being among our students and school community. Because of your contribution, we are better equipped to offer safe, effective, engaging and fun fitness opportunities for everyone in our school.\r\n\r\nMyself and my students are extremely grateful for your donation. As soon as each box of equipment was delivered, myself and a small group of students walked down to the office to bring it back down to our gym. We then opened each box and our gymnasium was full of cheers from all of us to see such nice and new equipment for our school. We have not been able to get any new equipment in a very long time, so this was a very big deal to us. Our school is on the older side and so is our current equipment. However, now our equipment room is looking much better, thanks to you! \r\n\r\nWe deeply appreciate your commitment to supporting our mission and investing in the success and wellness of our community. Your generosity will have a lasting impact on all of our students.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your kindness and support. We look forward to continuing to use this equipment to promote health and fitness in our school.\r\n\r\nWith sincere appreciation,","fullyFundedDate":1763483646183,"projectUrl":"project/physical-education-equipment/9724653/","projectTitle":"Physical Education Equipment","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Phillips","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10268143_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758204505051","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/pe20252026"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_60468","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":647,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":24,"percentWhite":57,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"5 - 7","studentTeacherRatio":"15.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":84.8,"schoolId":60468,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Joseph Martin Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Joseph Martin Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/taunton-school-district/joseph-martin-middle-school/60468"}
