We have incorporated them into our physical education classes as well as our volleyball and soccer programs. In PE, students can participate more comfortably and confidently without worrying about wearing inappropriate clothing or damaging their everyday clothes. Our volleyball and soccer athletes have also been able to use the shorts during practices and games, giving them proper athletic gear and helping them feel like a team. It has been especially rewarding to see students who previously hesitated to participate because they did not have appropriate athletic clothing become more willing and excited to get involved.\r\n\r\nOur students were extremely excited when they first saw the shorts. For many of them, having proper athletic clothing is something they cannot easily afford on their own. Students were excited to have gear they could use for both PE and athletics and proud to wear quality athletic shorts alongside their teammates and classmates. The donation also showed our students that people in their community believe in them and want them to have the resources they need to participate and succeed.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to continue using the shorts throughout the school year as we build our PE and athletic programs. Students will participate in a variety of sports, fitness activities, practices, and competitions while developing teamwork, sportsmanship, confidence, and healthy habits. Because these shorts can be used across multiple programs, they will continue to benefit our students and provide more opportunities for them to participate fully in physical activity.","fullyFundedDate":1782791783955,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-students-to-try-new-sports-wi/10264290/","projectTitle":"Empowering Students to Try New Sports with Confidence","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Melen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9651523_orig.jpg?crop=2029,2029,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753739380520","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9651523"},{"teacherId":5476825,"projectId":10183868,"letterContent":"This project was a wonderful success.
