On behalf of my 5th-grade class, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your generous donation of seat cushions. Your kindness has made a meaningful impact on our classroom, and we are truly grateful.\r\n\r\nThe moment my students saw the seat cushions, their faces lit up with excitement! They couldn't wait to try them out, and now, they use them every day. Whether sitting on the floor for group discussions, reading independently, or working on projects, these cushions have made our learning environment much more comfortable and inviting. Our class even brought them to a movie event last week in the cafeteria! We were definitely the comfiest there!\r\n\r\nThe cushions have given them the flexibility to move around the room, find cozy spots, and truly immerse themselves in the creative process. It's been wonderful to see how something as simple as a comfortable seat can encourage focus and engagement.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and support. You've made a lasting difference in our classroom, and we are so appreciative.","fullyFundedDate":1735238453019,"projectUrl":"project/comfortable-flexible-seats/8918748/","projectTitle":"Comfortable, Flexible Seats!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wagner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8441108_orig.jpg?crop=1152,1152,x0,y372&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755892459883","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8441108"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82126","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":316,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":42,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":73,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"4 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":82126,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Penn Beach Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Penn Beach Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/pennsville-school-district/penn-beach-elementary-school/82126"}
