The wobble seats in our school colors provide flexible seating that helps students of all learning abilities feel comfortable and focused while they read, research, or collaborate. Many students do their best thinking when they can move a little, and these seats give them that opportunity while still staying engaged in their learning. The new book bins have also helped transform our shelves by allowing more books to face outward, making covers easier to see and encouraging students to browse and discover new titles.\r\n\r\nThese materials are used daily by the many classes and students who visit the library. The colorful bins make the collection more inviting and organized, helping students quickly spot books that catch their interest and inspiring them to read more. The new low-profile sign-in desk on wheels has added another layer of flexibility to our space, allowing the library layout to adapt depending on whether students are signing in, working independently, or participating in a class activity.\r\n\r\nI am incredibly grateful to the donors who made this project possible. Your generosity has helped create a more welcoming, accessible, and student-centered library environment. Because of your support, our students now have seating that supports their learning needs, displays that make books more visible and exciting, and a flexible space that can grow and change with them. Thank you for investing in our students and helping make our library a place where every learner can feel comfortable, curious, and inspired to read.","fullyFundedDate":1768794642525,"projectUrl":"project/dynamic-shelving-and-flexible-seating-in/10041560/","projectTitle":"Dynamic Shelving and Flexible Seating in the Library!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bullock","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6654002"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_22781","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1100,"numTeachers":71,"percentFrplEligible":62,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":78,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"4 - 7","studentTeacherRatio":"15.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":22781,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Gillette Road Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Gillette Road Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/north-syracuse-central-school-district/gillette-road-middle-school/22781"}
