Our students were absolutely thrilled when they saw the new equipment. The volleyballs have already been put to great use as students practice serving, passing, and playing small modified games. They've enjoyed putting their skills into action while also strengthening teamwork and sportsmanship.\r\n\r\nThe scoop and ball toss sets are a huge hit with our youngest learners. In the past, we didn't have enough for everyone to participate at once, which meant students had to wait their turn and lost valuable activity time. Now, thanks to your donation, we have enough for every child, plus a few extras for future students or replacements.\r\n\r\nWe'll soon be starting our soccer unit, and the excitement is already building. With enough soccer balls for each student, everyone will have the opportunity to actively practice and grow their skills.\r\n\r\nWords cannot fully express the gratitude I feel. Your support has made a meaningful impact, and I am truly thankful for your contribution in helping our students on their journey toward lifelong physical activity and wellness.","fullyFundedDate":1746786455640,"projectUrl":"project/learning-and-moving-in-pe-class/9284110/","projectTitle":"Learning and Moving in PE Class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pineda","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8641540"},{"teacherId":8271694,"projectId":9131982,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for providing much needed headphones and other technology supplies to my classroom.

Our class does a raffle every Friday to reward students with completed assignments and zero behavior marks. When students realized they had a ton of options in their prize box, it motivated students to work towards winning the raffle the following weeks. They were so grateful that their teacher, peers, and community got to experience such kindness and generosity. Knowing that they were cared for made them want to put in more effort into their academics. They refuse to let these items go to waste! \r\n\r\nMy classroom and myself feel such a sense of pride when we see how far we have come since the beginning of the year. We have all worked so hard to make this classroom a home and now it truly feels like it. Most of my students spend more time with me than they do their own family so it is very important that we create an environment that includes all of our students. This year was so magical and it would not have been such a success if it wasn't for you and your generous donation.","fullyFundedDate":1739373202544,"projectUrl":"project/home-away-from-home-creating-a-warm-env/9039780/","projectTitle":"Home Away From Home: Creating a Warm Environment","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Marquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9121722_orig.jpg?crop=1984,1984,x331,y115&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736370603719","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9121722"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_60131","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":481,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":85,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"20.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":70.2,"schoolId":60131,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Irene Lopez School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Irene Lopez School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/roosevelt-elementary-school-district-66/rose-linda-elementary-school/60131"}
