At the same time, they get to practice good sportsmanship and getting along with others. In a world where many of our kids spend their free time on their devices, I like giving them school time to have some real good old-fashioned fun!","fullyFundedDate":1753971691216,"projectUrl":"project/keeping-students-active/9469707/","projectTitle":"Keeping Students Active!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hardison","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4096007_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1784647225293","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4096007"},{"teacherId":4096007,"projectId":9338566,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for giving my students so many wonderful books to read.
