The games have helped to bring new students together and get them talking to each other. The fun games are improving school excitement on Fridays and during special events. The students know that if they participate they are eligible to win school swag items. The students at first were like \"Why are we playing games at lunch\" but now they are asking what games are we playing this week?\" The students are less shy and are opening up to our Phoenix Fun Fridays. We love to see them joining new groups and competing to win prizes. Our next project is to get bigger games and replace old broken items on campus for the students. \r\n\r\nI have seen a difference in the students and student participation. I enjoy playing the games too. The students are not used to seeing teachers out at lunch or playing alongside them. I think more interaction with their teachers could allow for more open conversations about more serious topics for support. We are about to remodel our shaded outside lunch area and would love to add some game tables out there for the students. So that they have access every day not just special occasions. Thank you again for your generous donations to our school and our students.","fullyFundedDate":1727044877965,"projectUrl":"project/fun-times-at-our-school/8804890/","projectTitle":"Fun Times at Our School","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Villegas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9101340_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x0,y156&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726766085356","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9101340"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_98477","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":212,"numTeachers":16,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":80,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"8 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"13.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":48.3,"schoolId":98477,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Acceleration East High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Acceleration East High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/orange-county-public-schools/acceleration-academy/98477"}
