The workout bands, jump boxes, and snacks each served a purpose in helping our girls during practices and as a team.\r\n\r\nThe workout bands helped us target certain muscle groups to build strength and gain power. Cross country is about more than just running miles, so we incorporated strength training into our workouts to help our athletes become stronger runners. The bands allowed us to focus on specific muscles and add more variety to our training.\r\n\r\nThe jump boxes were used for step-ups and other exercises to strengthen our legs and build power. Having these boxes gave us more options during practice and helped our girls work on the muscles they use while running.\r\n\r\nThe snacks became a part of our everyday routine. Our students ate snacks every single day, and it became one of the ways we bonded as a team. We talked, laughed, and got to know one another while snacking. These moments may seem small, but they gave our girls time to connect outside of running and workouts. It was fun to see how something as simple as sharing snacks became part of our team culture.\r\n\r\nAs a coach, I want my athletes to develop both physically and personally. I want them to work hard, become stronger, and learn the importance of supporting one another. This project helped provide the materials we needed for strength training while also giving our girls opportunities to build friendships.\r\n\r\nI am thankful to everyone who helped make this project possible. The equipment gave us additional resources for our workouts, and the snacks became something our girls looked forward to each day. Thank you for supporting our cross country team and helping make our season a positive experience. Your generosity helped provide the resources we needed to train and gave our girls more opportunities to connect and grow together.","fullyFundedDate":1787670115590,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-runners/10450651/","projectTitle":"Fueling Runners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Minson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6629524_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x349,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1777411412721","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6629524"},{"teacherId":5637690,"projectId":10439010,"letterContent":"When the boxes of new supplies arrived, my students' were so excited! For middle schoolers, having a space that feels professional, well-cared for, and prepared for their needs makes them feel truly valued and ready to dance. \r\n\r\nBy dimming the harsh fluorescent overheads and turning on our floor lamps, we instantly created a warm, theatrical atmosphere that helped shift the energy in the room. We use the bright neon gaff tape to mark out exact stage dimensions on our floor, allowing students to practice stage spacing seamlessly. Meanwhile, our new tripod was set up to record their choreography, so they could watch themselves back, and make self-corrections. Behind the scenes, having spray deodorant, hair ties, and Band-aids on hand ensures every student felt comfortable, fresh, and ready to dance without hesitation.\r\n\r\nOur next step is preparing for our upcoming spring show! With our shelving and tension rod assembled, students are now learning wardrobe organization hands-on as we store, care for, and alter borrowed costumes using our safety pins and Tide detergent.

When the students first entered the classroom and saw the plastic table toppers, there were lots of questions about what they were for (and touching to check things out). After a quick explanation and our first use, they got on board and liked being able to access paperwork needed for the day quickly. The plastic table toppers allows me to make a class set of 25 copies for lessons instead of needing a personal copy for each and every student. It saves paper, ink and time! The students have become quite accustomed to looking there first for the days assignment or instructions. I am so happy to now have a quick and easy way to prepare materials like handouts for daily use by my students. The AVID program starts each and every unit with a Pre- & Post- Prompt worksheet. The table toppers are very useful for this particular routine experience in our classroom. They also allow us to write on them like whiteboards with dry erase markers to do quick demonstrations of skills, planning projects, and more! We look forward to using them for years to come.
