When the packages containing our new hula hoops, balls, and stepping blocks arrived, our students rushed to the play area with huge smiles and pure excitement. Your kindness made it possible for us to upgrade our active play gear and offer fresh, engaging activities for every single child in our school.\r\n The new equipment is already transforming our daily outdoor playtime and recess time. The stepping blocks have been a massive hit for building balance, core strength, and coordination through creative obstacle courses. Meanwhile, students are using the balls to practice essential catching and throwing skills, and the hula hoops have sparked endless movement, games, and cooperative team challenges. Instead of waiting for turns with worn-out gear, every child now has the chance to stay active and fully participate.\r\n You have made a lasting difference in the physical health and happiness of our students. Knowing that supporters like you care so deeply about their well-being inspires our entire school community to keep moving, balancing, and playing hard. Thank you again for investing in our kids and giving them the tools they need to thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1779988795830,"projectUrl":"project/outdoor-play-equals-brighter-days/10213326/","projectTitle":"Outdoor Play Equals Brighter Days","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Calvillo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1153946"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_7509","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":407,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":96,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"18.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":89.7,"schoolId":7509,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Maywood Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Maywood Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/maywood-elementary-school/7509"}
