Since their introduction, these desks have had a transformative impact on our students, particularly those who come to school feeling tired. By giving students the option to stand and move while learning, the desks have significantly improved their focus and energy levels. The ability to shift between sitting and standing has helped students combat the lethargy that often accompanies early mornings, creating a more dynamic and engaging learning environment. It has been inspiring to see students actively participating in lessons and staying more alert throughout the day.\r\n\r\nBeyond improving focus, the stand-up desks have empowered students to take control of their learning experience. The flexibility they offer allows students to adapt to their needs, promoting a sense of independence and self-awareness. Many students have expressed how much they enjoy the option to stand, and I've noticed a positive change in their moods and productivity as a result. Your thoughtful contribution has truly made a difference in their educational journey, and I cannot thank you enough for helping to create a classroom environment where every student has the tools to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1731707579357,"projectUrl":"project/stand-up-desks-for-at-risk-youth-in-the/8850233/","projectTitle":"Stand Up Desks for At-Risk Youth in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tripp","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9787775"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_65714","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":21,"numTeachers":4,"percentFrplEligible":86,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":72,"percentIndigenous":3,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 11","studentTeacherRatio":"5.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.4,"schoolId":65714,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Maurice Spear Campus on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Maurice Spear Campus","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/-county-run-/maurice-spear-campus/65714"}
