These resources have made our physical education classes much better and have helped students work together and improve their skills.\r\nOne project we started is the \"Football Strategy and Skills Workshop.\" In this project, students use whiteboards to create their own plays and strategies. They then practice these on the field, using the tees for precise kickoff drills and the kicking net to improve their accuracy.\r\nIt was truly delightful to see the students' excitement when they first saw the new materials. Their eyes lit up with joy as they explored each piece of equipment. Many students were eager to learn and improve, and some even said they felt like professional athletes with such high-quality gear.\r\nWith your support, we are now aiming to deepen our students' understanding of football tactics and teamwork. Our next project is a mini-tournament where students can use their new skills and strategies in a fun and competitive setting. We will keep focusing on the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship, and never giving up.\r\nOnce again, we are very grateful for your support, which has created new learning opportunities for our students. Your contributions have made a lasting difference, and we look forward to sharing more successes with you.

In our sports management class, we've integrated these new resources into a project where students analyze the impact of advanced sports gear on performance and safety. They've conducted experiments comparing their movements and agility with and without the new gear, gathering data on how proper equipment can prevent injuries and enhance their gameplay.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first laid eyes on the new football pants with pads, their faces lit up with excitement and gratitude. For many, it was their first time experiencing professional-quality gear, and it made them feel valued and motivated to excel. The immediate reaction was a mix of surprise and anticipation, as they were eager to test out the new equipment in practice sessions and games. This in a lower income school where students often have well-worn hand me downs. What an incredible moment they had something brand new JUT for them.","fullyFundedDate":1733457953203,"projectUrl":"project/help-keep-my-players-safe-and-active/8734465/","projectTitle":"Help Keep My Players Safe and Active!","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Shelsta","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6073325_orig.jpg?crop=947,947,x60,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1738085715352","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6073325"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_78888","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":688,"numTeachers":16,"percentFrplEligible":20,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":92,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"43.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":78888,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Louisville School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Louisville School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nebraska/louisville-school-district-32/louisville-school/78888"}
