We have turned it into something called the \"regulation station\" which kind of goes along with our \"hydration station\"where we keep our water bottles. \r\n\r\nThe wagon has been especially helpful, It allows us to be consistent with having the regulation station with us no matter what location we are in. As we continue to build independence in the world of fitness, you can understand that sometimes we're in a gym, sometimes we're in a fitness center, sometimes we're in a studio. But being able to keep a consistent regulation and hydration station with us allows every location to feel more like ours. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generosity, it is truly having an impact on my class on a daily basis.","fullyFundedDate":1787915170616,"projectUrl":"project/independent-choice-in-fitness-and-sport/10452062/","projectTitle":"Independent Choice in Fitness and Sport","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Coach O’Gara","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10578319"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_75553","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":891,"numTeachers":45,"percentFrplEligible":19,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":84,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"8 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.6,"schoolId":75553,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mound Westonka High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mound Westonka High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/westonka-independent-school-district-277/mound-westonka-high-school/75553"}
