Because of your donation, our student-athletes now have access to high-quality, advanced equipment that is already making a meaningful difference in how we train and prepare. We've been using the new resources during both our in-season practices and our off-season conditioning sessions. One moment that stood out was watching the girls rotate through skill-based drills using the new equipment there was a noticeable boost in their focus, confidence, and overall energy. It allowed us to run more efficient, game-like scenarios that truly elevated their learning experience.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, their reactions were priceless. Many of our athletes don't have the opportunity to play year-round or access this level of equipment outside of school, so this meant more than just new gear it gave them a sense of pride and motivation. They were excited, grateful, and eager to get to work. It immediately created a stronger sense of commitment and excitement around the program.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to continue building on this momentum by incorporating these resources into more advanced skill development and team-building activities. Our goal is to not only improve their performance during the season but to keep them engaged, active, and growing year-round. Your support has truly helped create opportunities that extend beyond the court, and we cannot thank you enough for investing in our students' growth, confidence, and success.","fullyFundedDate":1766934821729,"projectUrl":"project/equipping-our-team-for-success/9778503/","projectTitle":"Equipping Our Team for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Estrada","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10268477_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758215007854","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10268477"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_125153","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":550,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":48,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":38,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":125153,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Academy Charter High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Academy Charter High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-state-department-education/academy-charter-high-school/125153"}
