Your generosity has provided our players with something that may seem simple, but means so much to them. The excitement on their faces when they received their very own bat bags was priceless. Having a bag of their own gives each player a special place for their equipment and makes them feel valued and supported.\r\nMore importantly, these bags give our players an even greater sense of pride in being part of our team. When they carry their matching bags to practices and games, they aren't just carrying their equipment—they're representing their teammates, their school, and everyone who believes in them. It helps create that feeling of belonging and reminds them that they are part of something bigger than themselves.\r\nThank you for investing in our players and our program. Because of your kindness, our athletes feel supported by their community and proud to represent our team. We are incredibly grateful for each and every person who helped make this project possible!","fullyFundedDate":1748092134460,"projectUrl":"project/carry-the-game-softball-bag-drive/9348026/","projectTitle":"Carry the Game: Softball Bag Drive","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Nichole Poore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7400589_orig.png?crop=1075,1075,x422,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1788536612437","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7400589"},{"teacherId":10241910,"projectId":9682850,"letterContent":"Our new bags have been such a blessing to our team.

Many of our old bags had zippers missing or holes in them, so receiving these came at a great time.","fullyFundedDate":1758809530737,"projectUrl":"project/backpacks-for-ballers-support-our-panth/9682850/","projectTitle":"Backpacks for Ballers: Support Our Panthers!","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Buchanan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10241910"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_34539","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":188,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":94,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"9.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":63.2,"schoolId":34539,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Northwood High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Northwood High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/smyth-county-school-district/northwood-high-school/34539"}
