Because of you, our classroom has been transformed into a more comfortable, flexible, and welcoming space where students love to learn.\r\n\r\nThanks to your donations, we now have a bright new classroom carpet that gives us a cozy spot to gather for lessons, discussions, and read-alouds. The lap desks and floor pads have given my students the freedom to choose how and where they learn best, whether they're reading quietly on the carpet, collaborating with a partner, or working independently in their favorite spot. And the step stool has been a small but mighty addition, helping students confidently reach materials and take ownership of our classroom.\r\n\r\nThese items have truly changed the way we learn together. My students feel a stronger sense of comfort, independence, and community — and it's all because of your kindness. You've helped create a classroom environment that supports every kind of learner and makes school a place they're excited to be each day.\r\nThank you for believing in my students and in the power of a supportive learning space. Your generosity has made a lasting impact, and we are so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1752121347223,"projectUrl":"project/room-to-learn-room-to-grow/9448644/","projectTitle":"Room to Learn, Room to Grow","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hernandez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10072124"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_43628","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":385,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":47,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":33,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.2,"schoolId":43628,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ivy Drive Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ivy Drive Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/bristol-public-schools/ivy-drive-elementary-school/43628"}
