Your kindness has made such a meaningful difference in our Kindergarten classroom, and we are so grateful for your support.\r\n\r\nOur new rug has quickly become one of the most special places in our classroom. It gives each student a specific place to sit when we gather on the carpet, helping our little learners know where they belong and making our classroom meetings run more smoothly. It has also brought so much color and brightness into our classroom and has truly made our learning space feel more welcoming and inviting.\r\n\r\nOne of our favorite things about our new rug is how perfectly it has become part of our storytime routine. Every day, our Kindergarteners gather together on the rug to listen to stories, share ideas, use their imaginations, and get lost in the wonderful world of books. It has created a cozy and special space where so many memories will be made throughout the year.\r\n\r\nYour donation may have purchased a rug, but its impact goes far beyond that. You have helped create a space where children can learn, connect, imagine, and feel a sense of belonging. We cannot thank you enough for investing in our classroom and in our Kindergarteners.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping make our classroom a brighter, happier, and more welcoming place to learn!","fullyFundedDate":1787585192750,"projectUrl":"project/new-rug/10418249/","projectTitle":"New Rug","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Murray","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10280043"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1962","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1018,"numTeachers":75,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":50,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":31,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":56.9,"schoolId":1962,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Four Oaks Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Four Oaks Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/johnston-county-public-school-district/four-oaks-elementary-school/1962"}
