Since receiving the new paddles, balls, and nets, our students have been able to engage in fun, interactive lessons that not only teach the fundamentals of the sport but also foster teamwork and healthy competition. One memorable moment was during our first pickleball game, where students who had never played before were quickly picking up the rules and strategies. It was incredible to see their confidence grow as they learned new skills and worked together to solve challenges on the court. Their enthusiasm was palpable, and many students have since shared how much they look forward to pickleball sessions.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to integrate pickleball into our physical education curriculum, using the sport as a tool to reinforce concepts of strategy, communication, and sportsmanship. Our next step will be organizing a mini-tournament where students can apply what they've learned in a friendly competitive environment. It's exciting to see how much our students have already gained from these resources, and we can't wait to continue developing their skills and passion for the sport. Your support has made all of this possible, and we're so grateful for your role in bringing these opportunities to life!","fullyFundedDate":1726682112693,"projectUrl":"project/lets-play-pickleball/8736972/","projectTitle":"Let's Play Pickleball!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Anicete","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9497839_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1713792903152","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9497839"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_103580","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":701,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":79,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":62,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"20.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.6,"schoolId":103580,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Martin Luther King Junior JHS on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Martin Luther King Junior JHS","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/pittsburg-unified-school-district/martin-luther-king-junior-jhs/103580"}
