Our students have thrived by having a space to burn energy and come together over their shared love of sports.\r\nAs a non-traditional school, we don't have sports teams, pep rallies, or the usual athletic activities that often unite students. This club has become that special place for them. The excitement is undeniable—students eagerly look forward to every meeting and constantly ask for more opportunities to participate.\r\nBecause of your support, we've already hosted a highly attended basketball tournament, and we are thrilled to announce upcoming events including a soccer series, a badminton event, and a volleyball tournament. These experiences would not have been possible without your generosity.\r\nThank you for bringing the joy of sports to our school and creating opportunities for connection, teamwork, and fun.

The excitement in my classroom was truly heartwarming when my students first saw the new materials. Their eyes lit up with curiosity, and they couldn't wait to dive in!

They were super engaged!\r\nOne memorable moment was when we used the whiteboards to write complex sentences for an upcoming essay. The students worked together on the joint project, and it was incredible to see their engagement and enthusiasm. They said, \"It was so much easier to change answers and to get help using the boards instead of notebook paper.\" The candy they received for participating made it better!!\r\nLooking ahead, we'll be using these resources to continue to nurture the students' love of writing and improving their sentences.
