The wheelchair-accessible desks, the JOY Worker Height Adjustable Rolling Laptop Desk, and the charging stations have already changed how my students learn and move through the room.\r\n\r\nWe're currently working on a lab activity. The new desks let all students — including those using mobility devices — join their groups easily. The rolling laptop desk creates a flexible workspace anywhere it's needed, and the charging stations keep every device ready to go.\r\n\r\nWhen the boxes first arrived, the kids' faces lit up. One of my students exclaimed how excited they were that their classmate who uses a wheelchair could finally sit right next to them during group work. Witnessing students cheer for one another and celebrate inclusion was an unforgettable moment.\r\n\r\nAs units come up this year, students will have a workspace that fits them and devices that stay charged. Because of you, we can make lessons hands-on, collaborative, and inclusive.\r\n\r\nThank you again for giving my students not just new materials, but a sense that they are valued and supported.","fullyFundedDate":1746579272579,"projectUrl":"project/charging-forward-with-inclusive-learning/9163959/","projectTitle":"Charging Forward With Inclusive Learning Spaces","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Griep","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9473825_orig.png?crop=311,311,x6,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727809233490","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9473825"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_51253","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":251,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":29,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":87,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"7 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":78.6,"schoolId":51253,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Central DeWitt Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Central DeWitt Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/iowa/central-dewitt-community-school-district/central-middle-school/51253"}
