Our classroom rug has already made such a big difference, and I'm so grateful for your support!\r\n\r\nWhen my students first walked in and saw the new rug, they were so excited. A few of them immediately sat down and said, \"I love the smiley faces!\" They kept asking if this was really for our classroom. Their reactions were priceless.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the rug every single day. It's become our spot for morning meeting, read-alouds, small groups, and honestly just a cozy place for students to feel comfortable. One of my favorite moments so far was watching students partner read on the rug-they were so calm, focused, and genuinely enjoying the space. It really changed the whole feel of our classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping create such a warm, welcoming environment for my students. Your kindness truly means so much.","fullyFundedDate":1758842955986,"projectUrl":"project/ms-drahms-dreamers/9444588/","projectTitle":"Ms. Drahms’ Dreamers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Drahms","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10069847_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1765651876684","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10069847"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_34192","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":397,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":33,"percentWhite":34,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":22,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.2,"schoolId":34192,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lakeside Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lakeside Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/henrico-county-public-schools/lakeside-elementary-school/34192"}
