These resources have already made a meaningful impact. For instance, before a recent game-day routine, the team refueled with protein bars and instant grits to ensure they had the stamina to perform their best. Seeing their increased energy and confidence on the mat was a powerful reminder of how critical proper nutrition is to their success.\r\n\r\nWhen the cheerleaders first saw the snack station, their excitement was undeniable. They were thrilled to have convenient access to healthy snacks and water flavor packets that made staying hydrated enjoyable. For many students, this snack station alleviates the stress of finding affordable, nutritious options on their own, allowing them to focus entirely on their athletic and academic pursuits.\r\n\r\nLooking forward, these resources will continue to support their physical and mental well-being as they tackle more demanding routines and competitive events. Our next goal is to incorporate team discussions about nutrition and its role in athletic performance, empowering students with the knowledge to make healthy choices beyond their time in cheerleading. Your support has not only fueled their current endeavors but also set them on a path toward lifelong wellness and success. Thank you for believing in our student-athletes and making a lasting difference in their journey.","fullyFundedDate":1735705386856,"projectUrl":"project/healthy-snacks-build-strong-cheerleaders/8956470/","projectTitle":"Healthy Snacks Build Strong Cheerleaders","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Owens","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4088769_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1479763007052","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-s-owens"},{"teacherId":4088769,"projectId":8936365,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has been transformed into a hub of creativity and career readiness. The work zones and supplies you provided have allowed my students to dive into hands-on employment center projects with confidence and enthusiasm. These zones are now bustling with activity as students fold clothes to practice retail skills, design intricate creations using the Cricut, and tackle woodworking and PVC assembly projects. Recently, one group of students collaborated to build a custom storage unit from PVC pipes—a project that strengthened their problem-solving skills and demonstrated the practical applications of their learning.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, their faces lit up with excitement. They immediately began brainstorming all the ways they could use the new equipment. The idea of having dedicated spaces with reliable power for their electronics and hands-on work sparked a new level of engagement and focus. It was especially rewarding to see their pride as they began completing tasks that mirrored real-world job responsibilities.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, my students will continue developing their career readiness through increasingly complex projects that build on the skills they've learned. For example, they're working on creating personalized designs with the Cricut for a mock business venture. The next phase will include crafting marketing materials and setting up a storefront for a simulated customer experience. These projects will not only prepare them for future employment but also cultivate their confidence, creativity, and collaboration skills. Your support has played a vital role in making these opportunities possible, and we are deeply grateful for your investment in their futures","fullyFundedDate":1734472069350,"projectUrl":"project/remarkable-creative-zone/8936365/","projectTitle":"Remarkable Creative Zone","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Owens","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4088769_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1479763007052","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-s-owens"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_6466","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1580,"numTeachers":93,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":49,"percentWhite":36,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"17.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":63.9,"schoolId":6466,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about South Florence High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"South Florence High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/florence-school-district-1/south-florence-high-school/6466"}
