When my dancers first received their new bags, their excitement was undeniable.

One dancer excitedly said, \"Coach, we finally look like a real team!\"—a moment that truly captured how much this gift meant to them.\r\n\r\nThese bags have already made a huge difference in keeping the team organized and prepared for practices and performances. Instead of struggling to carry multiple items, each dancer now has a dedicated space for their essentials, allowing them to focus on their routines with confidence. More than just a bag, this donation has given them a sense of pride, unity, and motivation to keep pushing themselves.\r\n\r\nAs we prepare for upcoming performances, the team is more inspired than ever. Your support has not only provided a much-needed resource but has also helped build confidence and discipline in these young dancers. We are incredibly grateful for your kindness and for believing in The Supreme Storm! Thank you for making a lasting impact on our team.","fullyFundedDate":1729180759639,"projectUrl":"project/dance-pants-that-shine-on-stage/8691062/","projectTitle":"Dance Pants that Shine on Stage","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hampton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9079513_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699490927002","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9079513"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_45029","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":330,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":75,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":67.1,"schoolId":45029,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bale Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bale Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arkansas/little-rock-school-district/bale-elementary-school/45029"}
