We spent valuable time chasing balls instead of developing skills, and we lacked the tools needed to review technique and improve form. Your donations have completely transformed our practices. With the ball hopper and tennis balls, practices are now more efficient and focused. The phone holders allow us to video our players so they can see their progress, correct mistakes, and build confidence in their abilities.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your support sent a powerful message to our students: that their hard work matters and that others believe in their potential. Because of you, our team can now look forward to practicing with proper equipment as we prepare for upcoming tournaments and district competition.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has had a direct and meaningful impact on our students, both on and off the court. Thank you for investing in our program and for helping our athletes grow, improve, and dream bigger.","fullyFundedDate":1762871876494,"projectUrl":"project/veterans-tennis/9459815/","projectTitle":"Veterans Tennis","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. John","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10077602"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_100887","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2294,"numTeachers":137,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":98,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":100887,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Veterans Memorial Early College High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Veterans Memorial Early College High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/brownsville-independent-school-district/veterans-memorial-high-school/100887"}
