Our students are OVER THE MOON about these new balls (especially the footballs!). Each day our students used to go outside and simply walk around the track because there was nothing else for them to do. Now they are able to go outside and walk OR play a game of soccer, throw a football, or play games of their imagination because they have all these balls! Not only that, but we also have a place to be able to store them neatly in our space. The new sports rack is so great to be able to have next to the doors so students to grab what they want before we head outside. Thank you for bring so much joy into my students' days!","fullyFundedDate":1756250026946,"projectUrl":"project/lets-play-ball/9320016/","projectTitle":"Let's Play...

They can't wait to see if the strawberries take off too. Even more exciting is that students are going to be able to take fresh produce home to their families, and that is the real power of this project.","fullyFundedDate":1746824334953,"projectUrl":"project/hydroponics-for-indoor-gardening/9249582/","projectTitle":"Hydroponics for Indoor Gardening","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tambornino","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp581309_orig.jpg?crop=2384,2384,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1565715632208","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tambornino"},{"teacherId":581309,"projectId":9268747,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for these amazing tools to use in my classroom!

I love that they are so excited about learning and more importantly, are learning about giving!
