Because of your generosity, our student-athletes had access to equipment and resources that helped bring this new program to life.\r\n\r\nThe girls were excited from day one. Many had never played organized flag football before, but throughout the season they gained confidence, learned teamwork, developed leadership skills, and built friendships that extended beyond the field. The equipment you provided allowed us to create a positive and engaging environment where every student had an opportunity to participate, learn, and grow.\r\n\r\nWhat started as a brand-new program became a memorable season filled with hard work, perseverance, and success. Our team finished the inaugural season with a 3-2-1 record (3 wins, 2 ties, and 1 loss), but the real victory was watching these young ladies grow in confidence, character, and sportsmanship. They learned valuable life lessons about commitment, communication, resilience, and believing in themselves both on and off the field.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and helping create opportunities that many of them will remember for years to come. Your generosity made a lasting impact on our athletes, our school, and our community.","fullyFundedDate":1757087392410,"projectUrl":"project/equipping-our-first-ever-girls-flag-foot/9503130/","projectTitle":"Equipping Our First-Ever Girls Flag Football Team","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Moore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9495054_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1780238103855","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9495054"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_47806","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":677,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":92,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"18.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":70.0,"schoolId":47806,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Appling Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Appling Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/bibb-county-school-district/appling-middle-school/47806"}
