Your support has provided our young men with the tools they need to take their game to the next level. We've been using the new 55-gallon training cans and they have already made a huge impact on our practice sessions.\r\n\r\nThe first day we brought the cans out, the team was excited. It might not seem like much, but our guys immediately recognized that these weren't just props—they were a new tool for mastering their technique. They were eager to get their hands on them and start drilling. It was awesome to see their focus and determination as they worked on their footwork, hand placement, and blocking techniques. We immediately put them to use by creating a pass protection drill, where players practiced their kick-slide and proper angles around the cans. The ability to simulate a rusher allowed them to get a realistic feel for maintaining their depth and balance. It was great to see them go from understanding the concepts on the whiteboard to executing them on the field with confidence.\r\nThese new resources have made a difference. They've not only improved our practice sessions but also boosted the team's confidence. Your contribution has reinforced that their hard work is valued and that people believe in their potential. \r\nYour generosity has given these young men the opportunity to develop their skills and grow as a team. Thank you for being a part of their journey.","fullyFundedDate":1757673104199,"projectUrl":"project/the-yellow-wall-project-developing-dom/9583822/","projectTitle":"The Yellow Wall Project: Developing Dominant Linemen","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Adam Earnheardt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5351743_orig.jpg?crop=2725,2725,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1714572286964","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5351743"},{"teacherId":5351743,"projectId":9450490,"letterContent":"On behalf of the entire Liberty Leopards football program, I extend our deepest gratitude for your generosity. The excitement when the boxes with the new Wilson footballs arrived was something special. We brought them out after a grueling practice (and lunch, hence the smiles) and the team's energy completely shifted. To see them hold a brand-new, perfectly weighted football—feeling the grip and the laces—was a powerful moment. Their faces said it all, but one of our juniors summed it up perfectly: \"These are the real deal.\" You didn't just give them footballs; you gave them a tangible dose of respect and excitement for the work ahead.\r\n\r\nThat initial excitement has transformed into focused, productive work on the field. Thanks to you, we can run multiple, high-intensity stations at once. Our next step is to take all of this preparation and put it to the test under the Friday night lights. \r\n\r\nOur season opener is just around the corner, and because of you, our team will take the field with a new level of confidence. They know they have been practicing with the tools they'll be competing with, which levels the playing field in a way that truly matters. They are not just learning plays; they are learning that their hard work is seen and that their community believes in them. Thank you for being a vital part of our team.","fullyFundedDate":1754365160904,"projectUrl":"project/ready-for-kickoff-but-we-need-the-ball/9450490/","projectTitle":"Ready for Kickoff, But We Need the Ball!","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Adam Earnheardt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5351743_orig.jpg?crop=2725,2725,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1714572286964","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5351743"},{"teacherId":5236990,"projectId":7636828,"letterContent":"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This project helped my students so much throughout the year. The best part was that this project led to EVERY child was able to have a pair of headphones to use while they were on their Chromebook. The students were so excited to have their own set of headphones. They used them for state testing and for learning games. \r\nThe quality of these headphones are amazing! Every pair held up very nicely and will be used again for this coming school year. They also cancelled out other noises within the classroom. I was in awe over all the students using the microphones on their headphones and not having any issues with hearing other students talking. This definitely impacted student learning because the students were able to focus on their work and not be distracted. All of my testing scores increased through out the year and my students succeeded and were challenged while using their headphones on their Chromebook!!!\r\nLastly, while myself and my students benefited from these headphones so did other teachers.

I am not sure that they understood exactly where they came from, but they did comment, \"That was so nice of them!\" \r\n\r\nThese devices are particularly exciting for my students because our district does not have touchscreen devices. All of our district technology utilizes a mouse or mouse pad, therefore getting to use a touchscreen is a special treat for them. Some of my students use phones or other touchscreen devices at home to play games, and thus these tablets are viewed in a more positive light than other district technology. Students are swiping and tapping their way to learning new skills through differentiated practice without even realizing they are learning because of the use of these tablets. Students never want their tablet time to be over, and when it is , they always ask, \"When do we get to play on the tablets again?\" \r\n\r\nThank you again for your generous support in helping my students be happy and successful learners.","fullyFundedDate":1733232078658,"projectUrl":"project/touchscreen-tablets-to-the-rescue/8834906/","projectTitle":"Touchscreen Tablets to the Rescue","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Land","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5236994_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1521647130308","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5236994"},{"teacherId":8235676,"projectId":8616540,"letterContent":"I am so grateful for your generous donation, which has had a impact on our classroom.
