We celebrated our students hard work and success in receiving an A rating from the state for alternative education. It allowed us to play a teacher vs student game and then mix it up as well. \r\nAlthough I am not athletically inclined, I even got in on the action and tried to volley. \r\nThe students were so surprised and excited that others in the community wanted to support them. I can't wait to do more projects for the students based on their desires and wishes. \r\nThey have so little that they get excited about at school and being able to provide them with enrichment opportunities outside of the classroom is so important. Celebrating their achievements and letting them know that they are seen and appreciated is heartwarming, too. \r\nMy next steps are to get more outdoor sports equipment so they have a variety of activities to participate in and to get rewards or snack prizes for their hard work and dedication.","fullyFundedDate":1732838936645,"projectUrl":"project/volleyball-for-all/8952102/","projectTitle":"Volleyball for All","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Meyer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3595448_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1510853412779","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-rosiemeyer"},{"teacherId":9696897,"projectId":8974379,"letterContent":"The Sentinel Peak Cricut Club would like to once again, thank all those who have supported and generously donated to our club.
