Your support means the world to us!\r\n\r\nThanks to your kindness, our students now have an exciting, safe, and engaging way to build strength, coordination, and confidence. The traverse rock climbing wall has quickly become a favorite activity during our P.E. lessons.

For many of them, this is their first experience with climbing equipment, and it's inspiring to watch them grow in both skill and self-esteem.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped create a more dynamic and inclusive environment for all of our students to thrive. Whether they are working on balance, building core strength, or simply enjoying movement, the rock wall is helping us promote lifelong fitness in a way that feels like play.\r\n\r\nFrom all of us—especially the kids—thank you for believing in our project and investing in the health and happiness of our students.","fullyFundedDate":1746445687065,"projectUrl":"project/rock-climbing-wall-for-physical-educatio/9066393/","projectTitle":"Rock Climbing Wall for Physical Education!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wehrle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9899745"},{"teacherId":8268752,"projectId":9310283,"letterContent":"We can't thank you enough for your generous donations.
