Your gift of replacement paddles and balls has allowed us to teach Pickleball as part of our sports curriculum and sparked an incredible wave of enthusiasm among our middle school students.\r\nMiddle school is a critical time for developing healthy habits, yet finding activities that engage every student can be a challenge. Your donation has solved that problem for us. Pickleball has proven to be the ultimate equalizer in our PE classes. Because students who normally shy away from traditional sports like basketball, soccer or football are now arriving at class excited to play. You have not just given us sports gear; you have provided a source of joy for hundreds of students.","fullyFundedDate":1774236995501,"projectUrl":"project/just-one-more-game/10139942/","projectTitle":"Just One More Game!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rebollero","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9098032"},{"teacherId":7508034,"projectId":10302252,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my students and helping bring new learning opportunities into our classroom! Your generosity has allowed my students to engage with technology in a more meaningful and hands-on way. These resources have helped make lessons more interactive while giving students opportunities to build important skills such as creativity, problem-solving, collaboration, and digital literacy.\r\n\r\nMy students have especially enjoyed being able to use the new technology themselves rather than simply learning about it. It has been wonderful to see their excitement, curiosity, and confidence grow as they explore new skills and apply what they are learning. Students who may not always be the first to participate in a traditional lesson have also become more eager to get involved when they have an opportunity to learn through technology and hands-on experiences.\r\n\r\nYour support has helped me create a classroom where students can explore, create, and learn in ways that prepare them for the future. I am incredibly grateful that you chose to invest in my students and their education.

They were genuinely excited to play with all their new materials!\r\n\r\nWe will be working with different mediums of art in the next few weeks and it's satisfying to see how eager students are to learn with a variety of materials to choose from. It was heart warming to hear students make plans on how to use these wonderful resources together for projects in class. It was amazing to see the enthusiasm on their faces. They will definitely be utilizing all these awesome supplies in art class. \r\n\r\nThank you!","fullyFundedDate":1769177677300,"projectUrl":"project/funtastic-art/10027608/","projectTitle":"Funtastic Art!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Vuong","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4356718"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_7090","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":844,"numTeachers":59,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":88,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":88.0,"schoolId":7090,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Richard E Byrd Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Richard E Byrd Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/richard-e-byrd-middle-school/7090"}
