Twister, shuffleboard, and tic‑tac‑toe have encouraged more collaboration, communication, and friendly competition. These activities create opportunities for students to work together, support one another, and stay active in fun, creative ways. Their excitement has helped transform the space into a more vibrant and engaging environment.\r\n\r\nThe new basketballs have also made a noticeable difference, inspiring more students to participate in drills, practice their skills, and join in group games. With better equipment and more options, students are more motivated to stay active and try new activities. Their positive attitudes and willingness to explore these games have helped build a stronger sense of community and made the PE room a place where everyone feels welcome and eager to learn.\r\nThank you so much for giving our students something to look forward to every day. They have been enjoying every single moment they've had in the gym. Our students were extra excited to hear that Mission Tiger help fund the new equipment in the gym. We look forward to adding more equipment into the gym to provide our students with more useful and positive skills.","fullyFundedDate":1765323017189,"projectUrl":"project/making-the-best-of-pe/9619635/","projectTitle":"Making the best of P.E","teacherDisplayName":"Coach D","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10092544_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1773001596906","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10092544"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_99445","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":445,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":69,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":48,"percentWhite":34,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":99445,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pathway 6 - 8 Star Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pathway 6 - 8 Star Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/mobile-county-public-schools/the-pathway/99445"}
