In our under-resourced Brooklyn community, many children come to school without access to appropriate athletic clothing. By providing matching jerseys for gym and sports activities, you have helped level the playing field—literally and emotionally.\r\n\r\nThese jerseys give our students a sense of pride, belonging, and teamwork. When they put them on, they feel like athletes. They move with more confidence, participate with greater enthusiasm, and show stronger sportsmanship. This donation has strengthened our school community. During gym, tournaments, and after-school sports events, the matching jerseys help students feel united and recognized. They create a safe and inclusive environment where every child—regardless of background—feels seen, supported, and part of something bigger.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, the jerseys remove a barrier. Students no longer have to worry about what they're wearing or whether they \"fit in.\" They can focus purely on learning, growing, and enjoying physical activity. Thanks to your generosity, our students walk into the gym with pride, excitement, and an equal opportunity to shine.","fullyFundedDate":1764476067367,"projectUrl":"project/practice-jerseys-to-build-team-pride/9789231/","projectTitle":"Practice Jerseys to Build Team Pride","teacherDisplayName":"Coach B","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9894718"},{"teacherId":9894718,"projectId":9113388,"letterContent":"Your donation made a powerful difference for our students.

The watch has allowed me to model healthy habits for my students by tracking my own steps and activity throughout the day. I can easily monitor movement during recess, physical education and brain breaks, helping to create a more active classroom environment. \r\n\r\nThe personal pedometers have been a wonderful hands-on tool for students. They've sparked enthusiasm and friendly competition as we track our daily steps and set movement goals together. Students have become more aware of how physical activity contributes to focus, energy and overall well-being. It has also supported our math lessons-students collect, graph, and analyze step data, combining physical health with academic learning in a fun, meaningful way.","fullyFundedDate":1746786984927,"projectUrl":"project/step-into-health-pedometers-for-every-s/9061904/","projectTitle":"Step Into Health: Pedometers for Every Student","teacherDisplayName":"Coach B","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9894718"},{"teacherId":9894718,"projectId":9061337,"letterContent":"Thank you so much my scholar athletes truly appreciate the generosity.
