We finished strong and our numbers show it in individual gains, classroom gains and our campus even went from a C- to a B.!!

With the addition of basketballs, soccer balls, and exercise dice, our students have been more engaged and active during physical education and free time. The basketball and soccer balls have encouraged teamwork and friendly competition, while also helping students refine their coordination and motor skills. Their excitement is evident as they eagerly participate in games, challenging themselves and each other in new and creative ways.\r\n\r\nOne of the standout moments has been a fitness challenge project using the exercise dice. Students took turns rolling the dice to determine different exercises and repetitions, turning fitness into a fun and dynamic experience. Their enthusiasm and energy have been contagious, and it's clear that this new equipment has made a meaningful difference in their engagement and overall physical activity. Thank you for helping us provide these valuable resources that continue to enrich our students' learning and well-being.","fullyFundedDate":1733276488996,"projectUrl":"project/deflated-balls-are-our-cause/8709806/","projectTitle":"DEFLATED BALLS ARE OUR CAUSE!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cherry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9340057"},{"teacherId":9318357,"projectId":8703675,"letterContent":"I wanted to express my gratitude in helping my mathematicians in getting the much needed supplies.
