Students were able to work on their agility skills and feet coordination. They were able to leap over the hurdles in a pattern with their group members. \r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, they were very nervous but after a few times through, they started to get comfortable throughout the drill. \r\n\r\nWithin the ladders, students were able to improve their leg muscles and quickness for future skills that involve soccer, basketball, football and many more sports. \r\n\r\nI will continue to use these drills in order to further their footwork and speed throughout the future of Columbus Tustin Middle School.","fullyFundedDate":1762266241302,"projectUrl":"project/stay-fit-and-never-quit-bulldogs/9846349/","projectTitle":"Stay Fit and Never Quit, Bulldogs","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Obasi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10304491_orig.jpg?crop=200,200,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759897609564","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10304491"},{"teacherId":10304491,"projectId":9845872,"letterContent":"The experience with Pickleball was truly amazing.

There are many rules to follow so the students were able to catch on very quickly.

Thanks to your support, our students now have access to a set of calculators that have truly transformed the way they approach math.\r\n Many of our students come from low-income households and enter our classroom already below grade level in math. This often made solving multi-step or higher-level problems an overwhelming challenge, not because they lacked potential, but because they were getting stuck on the basic calculations. These new calculators have been a powerful bridge between frustration and understanding.\r\n With these tools in hand, students are now able to focus more on the why behind the math, rather than getting bogged down by the how. They can finally engage with problem-solving strategies, algebraic thinking, and real-world applications with more confidence and less anxiety. What once took many of them several minutes to solve can now be tackled in a fraction of the time, freeing up energy for learning and exploration.","fullyFundedDate":1744033068829,"projectUrl":"project/calculated-giving-to-help-multiply-learn/9042629/","projectTitle":"Calculated Giving to Help Multiply Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Russell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9890152"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_93306","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":604,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":69,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":78,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"19.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":77.6,"schoolId":93306,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Columbus Tustin Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Columbus Tustin Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/tustin-unified-school-district/columbus-tustin-middle-school/93306"}
