Once our students experienced the support and motivation provided through games organized for introducing the new equipment they have shown to push for further exploration. Additionally, the fidgets have proven to be integral in our group sessions by allowing students to remain distracted while discussing sensitive topics. We are certain that we would have not been able to create these experiences for students if it were not have been all of the newly gathered tools and resources. The students are grateful and staff is thankful for the support they have received. We continue to thrive by embarking in areas with the support we have continued to receive from the Fiesta Sports Foundation.","fullyFundedDate":1769348584589,"projectUrl":"project/fidgets-and-soccer-ball-to-help-students/10053792/","projectTitle":"Fidgets and Soccer Ball to Help Students Relax and Focus","teacherDisplayName":"Sr. M","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10384985_orig.png?crop=234,234,x0,y2&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1765818320915","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10384985"},{"teacherId":10384985,"projectId":9960165,"letterContent":"We appreciate the support you have provided to our students. It continues to create opportunities for students to leave their comfort zones and make sure they collaborate with others. Sport equipment has been a limiting factor on our campus for quite some time, however, now with the donated funds we have been able to create many more chances for students to participate. With the chance to obtain the amount of equipment we have been able to do so by using the funds we have been able to introduce students to endless possibilities of participating in an active lifestyle. These changes have primarily happened with the support of others on campus, which in turn has turned into a group effort. We are forever grateful to the Fiesta Sports Foundation for enabling us to make a positive impact on the lives of students. \r\n Are hope is that these experiences create lasting memories for students while allowing them to experience new adventures during their academic journey.","fullyFundedDate":1768277631150,"projectUrl":"project/2025-26-palo-verde-fiesta-sports-foundat/9960165/","projectTitle":"2025-26 Palo Verde Fiesta Sports Foundation Wishes for Teachers","teacherDisplayName":"Sr. M","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10384985_orig.png?crop=234,234,x0,y2&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1765818320915","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10384985"},{"teacherId":2054925,"projectId":9825295,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contributions toward the purchase of headphones for our English Language Development (ELD) students.

For many ELD students, having the ability to hear instructions clearly and work independently is essential to building both language proficiency and self-confidence.\r\n\r\nYour generosity goes beyond the headphones themselves. It shows our students that there are people who believe in them, support their education, and care about their success.
