The new basketball storage carts you funded have been a game-changer. I wish you could have seen the students' faces the day they arrived—their excitement was immediate. We had been using rusty, rickety old carts that were falling apart, making it a frustrating chore to get the basketballs out for class and practice. The new carts are incredibly sturdy and smooth, and our students were amazed at how easily they could organize and roll out the equipment. This small but significant upgrade has made our daily routine significantly more efficient, freeing up valuable time that we can now spend on the court.\r\n\r\nHaving this new equipment has already had a positive impact on our physical education lessons and basketball teams. It has allowed us to get right into our drills, focusing on skills like dribbling, passing, and teamwork. For our current lessons, we're concentrating on an upcoming round-robin tournament between our classes. The speed and ease with which we can now transition between different activities means we have more time to practice plays and refine our techniques. Your contribution has truly elevated the quality of our lessons and helped us instill a greater sense of pride and confidence in our young athletes.\r\n\r\nYour support has given our students a wonderful boost, and we are so grateful for your belief in our physical education program. By contributing to this project, you gave a little peek into our classroom, and we're so proud to show you how your donation is making a real difference every single day. Thank you again for being such a crucial part of our students' success.","fullyFundedDate":1743515902503,"projectUrl":"project/new-basketball-carts-for-csms/9098086/","projectTitle":"New Basketball Carts for CSMS","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Rummage","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9916139"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_94061","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":791,"numTeachers":62,"percentFrplEligible":57,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":29,"percentWhite":49,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.2,"schoolId":94061,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Carolina Springs Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Carolina Springs Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/lexington-county-school-district-1/carolina-springs-middle-school/94061"}
