The tables came in just at the end of the school year and I set the room up over the summer. One of the goals to this project was to design a classroom that has no front. The focus of the students should be all around. With your donations, the tables have achieved this goal.\r\n\r\nSchool started 3 weeks ago and the students are loving the opportunity to stand and work. We work on thinking problems a few times a week with an emphasis on listening to each other and communicating their ideas. This is such a different approach for them and they are loving the movement, being able to get out of their seats, and actively participate in our activities. Thank you again for making this a reality.","fullyFundedDate":1745621051993,"projectUrl":"project/thinking-on-your-feet/9138829/","projectTitle":"Thinking on Your Feet","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Bloxsom","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2314251"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_2920","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":845,"numTeachers":53,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":77,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.9,"schoolId":2920,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rugby Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rugby Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/henderson-county-public-schools/rugby-middle-school/2920"}
