It was inspiring to see their enthusiasm for something that promotes both health and confidence.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, it was refreshing to see students so engaged in an activity that benefits their physical well-being while allowing them to discover and celebrate their individual athletic strengths. Your generosity has helped create an inclusive space where students of all abilities can feel successful and empowered. Thank you for investing in their health, confidence, and growth.","fullyFundedDate":1754672131820,"projectUrl":"project/inclusive-movement-fitness-and-nutritio/9507747/","projectTitle":"Inclusive Movement: Fitness and Nutrition for Every Learner","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Oglesby","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10097371_orig.jpg?crop=752,752,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753803232910","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10097371"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_54149","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":273,"numTeachers":17,"percentFrplEligible":38,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":50,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":30,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":"16.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":86.8,"schoolId":54149,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Roadrunner School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Roadrunner School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/paradise-valley-unified-school-district/roadrunner-school/54149"}
