Because of you, our classroom received brand-new volleyballs, footballs, and a kickball — and the difference they've made has been truly inspiring.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment I told my students the equipment had arrived, the excitement was contagious. They couldn't wait to get their hands on the new gear and start using it in class. These simple yet essential tools have completely transformed our physical education program. We now have the equipment needed to run engaging and structured activities like volleyball games, football drills, and kickball matches, which had previously been limited due to worn-out or missing equipment.\r\n\r\nOur new balls are used regularly during PE lessons and especially during our \"Workout Wednesday\" sessions — a weekly tradition where students participate in a rotation of games and fitness activities to build strength, coordination, and teamwork. The volleyballs have helped students improve communication and movement skills, the footballs have been great for developing hand-eye coordination and strategy, and the kickball has become a favorite for encouraging inclusive, active play.\r\n\r\nBeyond physical fitness, these games foster collaboration, resilience, and a strong sense of community. Students are more engaged, more confident, and genuinely look forward to PE days — which makes a big difference in their overall attitude toward school.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, our classroom has the tools to keep moving, growing, and thriving. Your support has had a lasting impact, and we are so grateful for your kindness.","fullyFundedDate":1648834743752,"projectUrl":"project/little-bit-of-everything/6331142/","projectTitle":"Little Bit of Everything!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Sampson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5548145_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1532034557066","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-sampson"},{"teacherId":5548145,"projectId":4461933,"letterContent":"I can't thank you enough for your generous donation to our classroom! Because of you, we now have a full set of new dodgeballs — and they've already made a huge impact on my students' learning, physical development, and overall enthusiasm for school.\r\n\r\nWhen I told my students that we were getting new equipment, the room absolutely erupted with excitement. You would've thought it was a holiday! Many of them asked, \"Are they the soft ones?\" and were thrilled to hear that, yes — these were safe, fun-to-throw dodgeballs that would let everyone participate without fear. That sense of inclusion made a big difference right from day one.\r\n\r\nSince the balls arrived, we've been using them in structured PE lessons for dodgeball and team handball — two games that build far more than athletic skill. Students are developing hand-eye coordination, communication, strategic thinking, and teamwork. These games also help teach sportsmanship, resilience, and how to manage both winning and losing gracefully.\r\n\r\nEven students who were previously hesitant to join in are now fully engaged, thanks to the safe design and bright colors of the new balls. They feel more confident participating, and that boost carries over into the classroom — I've noticed more collaboration and positivity even outside of PE time.\r\n\r\nWhat you provided wasn't \"just\" sports equipment. You gave my students a reason to move, to smile, to connect with each other, and to develop lifelong habits that support both their mental and physical health.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom and for giving my students the tools they need to grow in every way.","fullyFundedDate":1570730881241,"projectUrl":"project/team-handball-and-dodgeball/4461933/","projectTitle":"Team Handball and Dodgeball","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Sampson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5548145_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1532034557066","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-sampson"},{"teacherId":399100,"projectId":8980839,"letterContent":"Thank you so very much for providing my 4th grade classroom with a beautiful blue Lounge & Learn Couch! My students voted to place the couch in the front of the room near our Promethean Board since that is where we do most of our lessons. It is one of their favorite places to sit & read or learn with their friends. My students often lead their own math groups during center time, so they use the couch as a comfy spot to sit as a student leader or as a participant when completing group activities with their whiteboard.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, I appreciate having this new blue couch because it has helped my students focus better during lessons. Since I allow them to move closer to see the board during my lessons, I've noticed that my students are really more engaged with learning when sitting on the blue couch. It is also very heartwarming to see students reading together on the couch during our Daily 5 guided reading time. During this special time of the day students have the chance to read with a partner and talk about what they've read. My students take turns each day using the couch during this time, and they absolutely love it! \r\n\r\nAgain, you're the best for donating to my classroom! Your kindness has made a huge positive impact for my fourth graders! The couch is very durable and I clean it weekly with a simple Lysol wipe. It will be used for many years to come.

My students love the new books and the graphic novels are the most popular books for students to read in my class library.\r\n\r\nMy students read the books every day during our reading block. They read independently and with partners. The Sports Illustrated series was a favorite among the boys, especially the graphic novels about soccer and dirt biking! The science comics have cool facts and illustrations about the natural world to teach students facts about animals, volcanoes, and outer space. My girls loved the plots of the Baby-sitters Club series and some of them read all 7 of the graphic novels we received. One girl said that a character in one of the graphic novels reminded her of herself. The book was about a girl who faced challenges about her appearance, but overcame them through self-confidence and determination. It is so wonderful when students begin to \"see themselves\" in the characters they read about. \r\n\r\nYour donations truly enriched my fourth grade classroom. All my students have loved reading the graphic novels and they will continue to be an important part of my class library collection for many years to come. Students have also used the blue Lakeshore materials to store their books and notebooks.

Thanks to you, we now have brand new soccer balls and goals — and the impact on my students has been immediate and incredible.\r\n\r\nWhen I told my students that we were receiving new soccer equipment, their faces lit up with pure excitement and disbelief. Many of them have never had access to proper, high-quality sports gear before, and to know that someone cared enough to provide this for them was both humbling and inspiring. There were cheers and tons of high-fives. It was a moment I will never forget.\r\n\r\nSince the equipment arrived, my students have been using the new soccer balls and goals during physical education and recess. We've incorporated the gear into structured lessons that teach teamwork, communication, and physical fitness. Beyond improving their athletic skills, students are learning the value of cooperation, discipline, and perseverance — lessons that directly support their academic and social growth.\r\n\r\nStudents who were previously shy or disengaged have started participating more. Some have taken on leadership roles, helping others practice and organize games. It's amazing to see how something as simple as a ball and a goal can bring students together, boost their confidence, and improve their overall school experience.\r\n\r\nThis project has transformed more than just our playtime — it's created a stronger classroom community, encouraged healthy habits, and brought a sense of pride and ownership to our students.\r\n\r\nFrom all of us — thank you for believing in our classroom. Your kindness has made a lasting difference.","fullyFundedDate":1538018392350,"projectUrl":"project/soccer-equipment/3416284/","projectTitle":"Soccer Equipment","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Sampson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5548145_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1532034557066","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-sampson"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_63671","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":374,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":10,"percentIndigenous":6,"percentLatinx":72,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":59.7,"schoolId":63671,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Morgan Maxwell K-8 School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Morgan Maxwell K-8 School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/tucson-unified-school-district/maxwell-middle-school/63671"}
