The students at Greenwood elementary have not experienced what Rio volleyball is. But with your incredible donations, I am able to bring them to the height in reality and the joy of this sport. We had no nuts except for badminton nets, which were not very sturdy, and I could not get them high enough so that the students especially the older grades could practice and work on some of the true skills the training volleyballs the poles and the red base is a very welcome addition to our physical education program. This will have a clear impact on how I can teach the striking an object with your hand unit. It can also help with teamwork sportsmanship. I often had many students that wanted to play more volleyball, but we're not able to do so because of lack of equipment now through your kind donation, we will be able to reach the height.","fullyFundedDate":1778714737143,"projectUrl":"project/reaching-and-teaching-new-heights-volle/10225444/","projectTitle":"Reaching and Teaching New Heights… Volleyball #PE the Right Way!","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Leigh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10032063_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751981870062","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10032063"},{"teacherId":10032063,"projectId":10170722,"letterContent":"My students cannot express the thanks enough that the Roku smart television will bring to our physical education lessons.

Technology in the gym has become a essential part of educating students in this day and age. Students have become more visually stimulated and more engaged by using a video game format. The visual stimulation and the ability to create eye-catching demonstrations for the students will be meaningful. I am able to through the Bluetooth attach my learning slides for my students to see with ease. That was fuzzy you could not read details plus I had to turn half of the gym lights off this created a safety hazard plus it took away from the learning. I am able to demonstrate different warm-ups games and provide engaging health lessons way beyond what I was able to do before I do not have to turn the lights off. The television will allow me to leave the lights on and all students will be able to see it. The shield will help protect the television from balls and equipment that may come its way before I can install it. I have to get a wall attachment, which I will hopefully be able to purchase soon we have not started using the equipment yet but once I can get the wall anchors, I will be more than happy to be using it. I am able to show and provide feedback and instruction because this allows me to work one on one with students as I move around the room, I want to thank you again and I hope that all of you realize the difference you're making at Greenwood Elementary School.","fullyFundedDate":1778715074765,"projectUrl":"project/leveling-up-in-physical-education/10170722/","projectTitle":"Leveling Up in Physical Education","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Leigh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10032063_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751981870062","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10032063"},{"teacherId":10032063,"projectId":10129989,"letterContent":"I want to thank you so much for giving students an opportunity to learn a new teen sport.

A day of fun, memories and kids just being able to be kids.\r\nMy students and Greenwood are no different than any other child. The prep and planning that goes into providing them a special day is beyond any bit of excitement or enjoyment that I can feel in my job. I work hard on this one particular day for months out of the year once the day is done I go back and start planning for the next year so it's almost 365 days out of the year.\r\nThe giant dartboard, the blowup, jumbo soccer basketball goal and the ski ball compliment. Everything that we do throughout the year, but make this day filled with laughter and fun. These new items will enhance my program for years.

They could actually hula hoop and not try to do it with an egg shaped hula hoop. They loved the variety of colors and it made them think of spring. I laughed. My older students we are learning to play spike ball along with volleyball. We only had one set so only a few could play at a time now I can run it as a pool station. This makes a big impact on my school because we have old equipment being used or together taped up and it is very nice to start the island for a long time.

Because of you, every child now has equal access to an instrument, which has strengthened their sense of belonging and confidence. When the students first received the recorders, their excitement quickly turned into focus and determination—they understood that someone believed in their potential. Since then, I have seen noticeable growth in their concentration, listening skills, and perseverance. Students who are often hesitant to participate are now raising their hands to demonstrate rhythms or lead warm-ups, and the pride they feel after successfully performing together has been transformative.\r\n\r\nThe impact goes beyond learning notes and rhythms. Playing in an ensemble has helped students develop teamwork, patience, and self-discipline as they learn to listen to one another and adjust their playing. They are building problem-solving skills as they correct fingerings and refine tone, and they are developing creative confidence as we move into composing short melodic patterns. Your generosity has created meaningful musical experiences that are strengthening both academic and social-emotional growth. Thank you for investing in our students and helping them discover their abilities through music.","fullyFundedDate":1760693813957,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-music-education-with-recorders/9742177/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Music Education With Recorders","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Ronasi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8075566_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1632031753932","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8075566"},{"teacherId":10032063,"projectId":9517349,"letterContent":"The look on the faces of students when I set the goals up for them was worth a million dollars.
