Many of our students come from a low socioeconomic community where access to fitness resources is limited, so seeing high-quality weight room equipment in their own school was truly empowering. Students eagerly began learning proper lifting techniques, goal setting, and teamwork as part of our health and wellness curriculum. One powerful moment came when a group of students who had never used gym equipment before worked together to spot and encourage each other, showing confidence and pride in their progress. These resources are helping our students build not only physical strength but also discipline, leadership, and self-esteem. Moving forward, our next step is to incorporate fitness tracking and personal goal-setting projects, helping students understand how commitment and perseverance lead to measurable growth—both inside and outside the weight room.","fullyFundedDate":1666967935051,"projectUrl":"project/a-weight-on-their-shoulders/6832023/","projectTitle":"A Weight on their Shoulders","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8699864"},{"teacherId":9088017,"projectId":9221760,"letterContent":"The highlighters and headphones have made an impact because students are becoming better at annotating informational text. They actually enjoy it more because they get to color code their annotations in order to help them better understand the text. \r\n\r\nFor instance, students took a writing test and they were able to answer the writing prompt with satisfactory because they had the highlighters to help them pick out relevant information to support their claim. \r\n\r\nAlso, the headphones made a difference in several different ways. First, I have a student that can't speak English, so I have to translate all documents, and have him listen to those documents online until his English improves this year. This student wrote to me in Spanish and it said thank you for making me feel included in our class community. \r\n\r\nNext, I have students that need headphones as an accommodation to block out noises and/or need stories read to them.
