The impact of your contribution has been truly transformative for my students.\r\n\r\nThe flexible seating options have significantly increased student engagement during lessons. Having the ability to move their bodies while learning has helped them stay focused and energized throughout the day. The big bean bag, in particular, has been a favorite. It has created a safe and inviting space where students can take a break from the stressors of high school life.\r\n\r\nThis cozy and comfortable spot has become more than just a seat—it's a place where meaningful one-on-one conversations happen. I've had the privilege of connecting with students in ways that might not have been possible otherwise. Whether they need encouragement, guidance, or just someone to listen, the bean bag space has facilitated moments of trust and growth.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom and for providing resources that make such a meaningful difference. Your kindness and generosity continue to impact my students' daily lives in ways that words alone cannot fully convey.","fullyFundedDate":1727462955631,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-options/8575494/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating Options","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Boyd","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8555118_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722092888577","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8555118"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_41848","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":778,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":38,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":37,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":59,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"18.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":41848,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rifle High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rifle High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/garfield-school-district-re2/rifle-high-school/41848"}
