Through the creation of custom, laser-engraved plaques, our students now have meaningful keepsakes that honor their hard work, dedication, and achievements across multiple sports. These pieces of memorabilia not only recognize their athletic accomplishments but also serve as lasting reminders of the discipline, teamwork, and perseverance they demonstrated throughout their journeys. By celebrating each student in a personal and tangible way, we've fostered a stronger sense of pride and belonging within our athletic community. \r\n\r\nMore importantly, these plaques have helped our student-athletes feel seen and valued. For many, this was the first time they received such a personalized acknowledgment of their commitment, and the excitement on their faces was unforgettable. These keepsakes will stay with them beyond their time at EBIA, reinforcing the idea that their efforts matter and their contributions make a difference. Thanks to your support, we were able to transform a simple idea into a lasting tradition that motivates and inspires future athletes as well.","fullyFundedDate":1745496308960,"projectUrl":"project/ebia-sports-memorabilia/9218439/","projectTitle":"EBIA Sports Memorabilia","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Foster","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4969577_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1574884730787","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4969577"},{"teacherId":580087,"projectId":8933586,"letterContent":"What an amazing Science Olympiad season it has been.

This included the Mission Possible team creating and printing all types of wheels, pulleys and ramps for their Rube Goldberg type device. The tower team printed a jig to make sure their balsa wood tower as square and took home four medals for their great effort. \r\n\r\nThe helicopter team learned the power of precision as they used the kits to build rubber band power helicopters that also delivered several medals for the students.
