Because of your funding, we were able to purchase nine Kan-Jam sets and nine disc golf baskets along with discs, creating new learning and recreational opportunities for our students.\r\n\r\nThrough this project, approximately 24–35 students per class were introduced to disc golf and Kan-Jam across all grade levels. Each activity unit lasted approximately two weeks, allowing students time to learn rules, develop skills, and apply strategies through both structured instruction and gameplay.\r\n\r\nIn addition to students enrolled in physical education classes, the presence of the equipment generated interest among other students who observed the activities and expressed a desire to participate. These students were given opportunities to try the games as well, further expanding access and encouraging school-wide engagement in physical activity.\r\n\r\nThe units promoted physical activity, teamwork, sportsmanship, and problem-solving, while also exposing students to recreational activities they can continue beyond the school setting. Many students experienced these games for the first time, and engagement remained high as students practiced new skills, worked collaboratively, and supported one another.\r\n\r\nHaving multiple baskets and Kan-Jam sets available allowed large groups of students to participate simultaneously, increasing inclusion and maximizing active participation. Teachers observed strong enthusiasm, positive peer interactions, and increased confidence as students progressed through each unit.\r\n\r\nYour support has had a lasting impact by expanding access to quality physical activity and creating meaningful experiences that benefit students both physically and socially. We are grateful for your investment in our school and in the success of our students.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this project possible.","fullyFundedDate":1759190940671,"projectUrl":"project/outdoor-games-for-pe/9620638/","projectTitle":"Outdoor Games for PE","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Powell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10187347"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_65762","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":572,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":52,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":63,"percentIndigenous":8,"percentLatinx":21,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":70.8,"schoolId":65762,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Crookston High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Crookston High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/crookston-independent-school-district-593/crookston-high-school/65762"}
