The excitement was immediate—our playground buzzed with cheers. For many of our students, this was the first time they'd experienced fresh, high-quality equipment, and their pride in taking care of it has been heartwarming to watch.\r\n\r\nWe're already seeing wonderful benefits beyond simple play. The new balls have become tools for teamwork, leadership, and inclusion as older students invite younger ones into games and work together to create new activities. Moving forward, we'll also use these resources in our physical education lessons and social-emotional learning activities to help students build cooperation, conflict resolution, and problem-solving skills while staying active.\r\n\r\nYour support is making a real difference in our school community. On behalf of our staff and students at Sangamon Valley Primary, thank you for investing in their growth, joy, and well-being.","fullyFundedDate":1752687881014,"projectUrl":"project/lets-get-rolling-fresh-balls-for-reces/9393502/","projectTitle":"Let’s Get Rolling: Fresh Balls for Recess Games","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wellbaum","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10049170"},{"teacherId":6419366,"projectId":9177110,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for continuing to support our classroom!!
