Our new PE program will include a wider variety of options for current and future students to train for a team sport, and/or improve their personal health. \r\n\r\nIn addition, we added music to the PE environment. Our students have responded with joy and improved engagement in PE because we can pickup the mood, increase the activity levels, and make PE fun when we \"pump up the volume\". There is some natural Spotify tug-of-war when it comes to selecting the music, but this is a minor inconvenience compared to the overall benefit.\r\n\r\nThank you for adding another positive element to our CDS program. The students are from difficult circumstances and are not accustomed to getting more out of school, getting more opportunities to improve themselves. Our new equipment shows that we care, and they have choices to improve their well-being physically, mentally and emotionally. \r\n\r\nA special shout-out to the Young Sheldon organization and the Santa Clara Foundation for their generous contributions.","fullyFundedDate":1778003623735,"projectUrl":"project/fitnesstraining-equipment-for-a-communi/10120397/","projectTitle":"Fitness/Training Equipment for a Community School","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Loera","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8398847_orig.jpg?crop=2317,2317,x533,y32&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1734718855934","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8398847"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_131820","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":13,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":70,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":100,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":131820,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Community Day School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Community Day School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/santa-clara-unified-school-district/community-day-school/131820"}
