The flexible seating options have been a huge hit with the students. We are rotating the different chairs, so that each child has a chance to use them, but it is particularly fun to see them in action in 5th grade. The students are able to describe which chair helps them to stay focused and attentive better. I can see in the impact in the amount of times we are up and down from our seats. During testing or quiet work times, those students who need a bit more movement find success in being able to wiggle and adjust at their desk independently.","fullyFundedDate":1730414917501,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-refresh/8598228/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating Refresh","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Campbell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2383651_orig.jpg?crop=1440,1440,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723137987392","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/campbellscoolclass"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_92070","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":377,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":6,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":81,"percentIndigenous":3,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":73.0,"schoolId":92070,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pinedale Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pinedale Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-dakota/rapid-city-area-school-district-51-4/pinedale-elementary-school/92070"}
