We are especially grateful that your support came at a time when our school was facing significant budget challenges. Because of you, our students now have access to high-quality equipment that we simply would not have been able to purchase otherwise.\r\n\r\nWe will be using the new rackets in our badminton skills unit, where students will be learning proper grip, serving techniques, footwork patterns, and game strategy. When students first saw the new equipment, they were genuinely excited and immediately eager to get started. Many commented on how professional the rackets felt, and their enthusiasm translated into increased participation and positive sportsmanship.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, students will apply their developing skills in structured singles and doubles matches, focusing on teamwork, communication, and strategy. We also plan to incorporate goal-setting reflections tied to personal fitness and skill improvement. Your generosity has not only strengthened our program during a difficult budget period but has also provided meaningful, engaging learning experiences for our students.

It great to be able to offer such wonderful and motivating prizes for our participants without breaking the bank for us as an urban school.\r\n\r\nThe night was filled with lots of laughs and fun, as well as some celebratory dancing by winners! Families showed up and played together. They shared quality time together while building community with others in the school. Older students showed up and spent time together in a safe environment free from negative influences. Staff members showed up to engage with students and families outside of the classroom. What could be better than seeing this occur during a time when kindness and community are so needed? \r\n\r\nWinners were so excited when they were able to call BINGO and some ran or danced to the prize table to get their winnings. Everyone else cheered for their good fortune. One 10th grade student knew right away that she wanted the prize basket with the Mario Life game so she could play with her friends. Again, providing students and families a way to spend quality time together.
