Here's a polished draft you can use or adapt for your DonorsChoose impact report:\r\n\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\nSince receiving the new gymnastics equipment through DonorsChoose, my students have experienced a noticeable boost in excitement and confidence during physical education. The mats, beams, and bars have given them safe opportunities to try skills they've only seen before, and their faces light up when they are able to balance, flip, or stretch in new ways. For many, this is their very first exposure to gymnastics, and it has opened the door to discovering abilities they didn't know they had. Students who are usually shy or hesitant in PE have been stepping forward, eager to participate and show what they can do.\r\n\r\nThe equipment has also helped us incorporate more structured skill-building and teamwork. My kids are practicing balance, coordination, and core strength while also learning how to spot and encourage one another. They cheer each other on, celebrate small victories, and work together to overcome challenges. Beyond the physical skills, this gift has given them pride and ownership in their progress. The support from DonorsChoose has truly transformed our PE program and made movement fun, inclusive, and inspiring for every child.","fullyFundedDate":1746712079092,"projectUrl":"project/are-we-looking-at-the-next-simone-biles/9067298/","projectTitle":"Are We Looking at the Next Simone Biles?","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Norman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8950182_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726536182802","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8950182"},{"teacherId":7957308,"projectId":9247762,"letterContent":"Thank you all for your incredible support in providing a sink for our students to clean their hands and address any injuries that may occur at school.
