Because of you, my students were able to bring their learning to life through a hands-on diorama project focused on designing and managing sports medicine facilities. Using the art supplies you provided, students created detailed models that represented real-world athletic training rooms, rehabilitation centers, and sports performance facilities. They paired their dioramas with supply orders and budgets, forcing them to think critically about what equipment is truly necessary to care for athletes. One of the most rewarding moments was watching students explain their facility designs during our gallery walk, confidently justifying their choices and connecting classroom concepts to real careers in sports medicine.\r\n\r\nMany students dove right in, collaborating, sketching ideas, and revising plans as they worked. The supplies gave them the freedom to be creative while still thinking professionally, which led to a level of engagement and ownership that's hard to replicate without hands-on resources.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students a meaningful, memorable learning experience and for investing in their future. Your generosity truly made a difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1755547990704,"projectUrl":"project/sports-medicine-dioramas/9588251/","projectTitle":"Sports Medicine Dioramas","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Megan Tetuan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9343047_orig.jpg?crop=1594,1594,x0,y127&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699294416155","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9343047"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_125048","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":375,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":13,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":34,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":13,"gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":48.7,"schoolId":125048,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Tcalc on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Tcalc","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kansas/topeka-unified-school-district-501/tcalc/125048"}
