Thank you! Thank you! I really appreciate your generosity for my colorful pom-pom rug and books. I walk in my classroom and the rug puts a smile on my face. \r\n The students enjoy laying on the rug and looking at books. I have a bean bag on the rug so they are very comfortable. I've even had some students hop from pom-pom to pom-pom. Throughout the year it will also be an area where I can share a book with students. We can also do Author's Chair from the rug. \r\n I really appreciate what you did for my students at Cavanaugh. Students for many years will get to enjoy it.","fullyFundedDate":1750774741321,"projectUrl":"project/reading-corner/9387861/","projectTitle":"Reading Corner","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ramirez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10047127"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_68307","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":245,"numTeachers":17,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":32,"percentWhite":23,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":24,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":14,"gradesServed":"K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"14.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":44.9,"schoolId":68307,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cavanaugh Steam Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cavanaugh Steam Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/lansing-school-district/cavanaugh-elementary-school/68307"}
