These new seating choices have completely transformed our learning environment, giving students the ability to choose what works best for their individual needs.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been immediate and incredibly positive. We've noticed that students are more focused and engaged, and they're able to concentrate for longer periods during our lessons. I'll never forget the first day the stools arrived; one of my students saw the tilt stools and said with so much excitement, \"Wow, those helped me not be so eager for recess when I could get some movement!\" It's amazing to see how a simple change in seating can make such a big difference in a student's day. Your kindness has directly contributed to a more effective and comfortable learning space for all of my students.

Their excitement was contagious, and it sparked a new level of enthusiasm for their research projects. We immediately put the materials to good use in our units on regions of indigenous American tribes and various forms of energy. The new supplies not only made the projects more engaging but also gave the students a sense of ownership and pride in their work. Your contribution helped us create a more dynamic and hands-on learning environment, and we are incredibly grateful for your investment in our education.","fullyFundedDate":1750774662093,"projectUrl":"project/like-goldilocks-lets-find-student-seat/9346129/","projectTitle":"Like Goldilocks, Let's Find Student Seating That's Juuuust Right!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Renfrow","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9652981_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733429996864","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9652981"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4173","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":374,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":3,"percentAsian":12,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":64,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"20.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.3,"schoolId":4173,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sleepy Hollow Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sleepy Hollow Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/orinda-union-school-district/sleepy-hollow-elementary-school/4173"}
