We are incredibly grateful for your support and wanted to share the impact your gifts have already made in our program.\r\n\r\nThe pedometers have helped students become aware of their movement and set personal goals, turning exercise into an exciting challenge. Dancing scarves, which we have named \"Magic Scarves,\" paired with music has encouraged creativity and rhythm! Even our shyest students have joined in! \"Magic Scarves\" have quickly become a favorite in PE class and the students beg to use them nearly everyday!\r\n\r\nThe low profile balance beams have strengthened coordination and balance, while building teamwork through playful activities and obstacle courses with our younger groups of kids. They have loved getting to challenge themselves and try new things!\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your donation has helped students associate physical activity with joy. We have seen an increase in encouragement between classmates, and the sweetest smiles when students master new skills. These experiences are not only improving physical health but also building confidence, focus, and a lifelong appreciation for movement.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our students are learning that being active can be exciting and fun! That being active doesn't always involve a sport and that everyone can find a way to stay active and fit that they enjoy! \r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students here in Orange Grove and for making such a meaningful difference in their health and fitness. We are truly grateful for your support and partnership.","fullyFundedDate":1766596986145,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-fitness-empowering-students-thr/9649726/","projectTitle":"Fueling Fitness: Empowering Students Through PE Resources","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Cox","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10180160_orig.jpg?crop=2730,2730,x270,y350&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756229510140","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10180160"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_128968","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":386,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":67,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":34,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":64,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"3 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":0.0,"schoolId":128968,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Orange Grove Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Orange Grove Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/orange-grove-independent-school-district/orange-grove-elementary-intermediate-school/128968"}
