We've been using them daily to enhance engagement, teamwork, and skill development in our PE program. For example, during our volleyball unit, students have been using the new equipment to practice serving, setting, and teamwork drills. It's been incredible to see how much more motivated and confident they are when using quality materials that make each activity feel exciting and professional.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new equipment, their faces lit up—they couldn't believe it was all for them! Many immediately wanted to start using it and were eager to try out new drills. It completely changed the energy in the gym and made our lessons feel fresh and fun.\r\n\r\nNext steps: We're currently working on building consistency and collaboration during gameplay. Students are learning how to communicate effectively on the court, demonstrate sportsmanship, and apply the techniques they've been practicing. Thanks to your generous support, they're not only becoming better athletes but also stronger teammates and leaders.","fullyFundedDate":1680496800864,"projectUrl":"project/putting-students-first/7273641/","projectTitle":"Putting Students First","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Bolles","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9002483_orig.jpg?crop=432,432,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1680488385841","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9002483"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_38466","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":670,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":85,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"18.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.9,"schoolId":38466,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Chula Vista Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Chula Vista Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/sweetwater-union-high-school-district/chula-vista-middle-school/38466"}
