I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your generous donation, which allowed us to introduce flexible seating into our classroom. Your support has truly transformed our learning environment in ways that go beyond the physical furniture—it has reshaped how my students learn, engage, and grow each day.\r\n\r\nSince implementing the flexible seating options, I've seen a remarkable shift in both the energy and focus within the room. Students now have the opportunity to choose where and how they work best. This autonomy has increased their ownership over their learning and has made the classroom a more inclusive and supportive space for a wide range of learning styles.\r\n\r\nFlexible seating has not only improved focus and behavior, but it has also fostered a stronger sense of community. Students collaborate more easily, move around with purpose, and take greater pride in maintaining our classroom space.\r\n\r\nNone of this would have been possible without your kindness and vision. Your contribution has made a lasting difference—not just in the classroom setup, but in the lives of every student who learns here.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and for investing in their future. Your generosity will continue to impact our classroom for years to come.\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt thanks,\r\nJennifer Plebani\r\nLiterature Teacher\r\nCrossroads South Middle School","fullyFundedDate":1749215603403,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-comfortable-welcoming-learni/9383226/","projectTitle":"Creating a Comfortable, Welcoming Learning Environment for 6th Grade Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Plebani","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6683401_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727637624742","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6683401"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_81607","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":923,"numTeachers":83,"percentFrplEligible":13,"percentAsian":62,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":18,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"11.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":74.4,"schoolId":81607,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Crossroads South Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Crossroads South Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/south-brunswick-public-school-district/crossroads-south-middle-school/81607"}
