My students were thrilled when they saw the new cushions and alternative seating choices — their excitement was immediate, and their ability to focus has noticeably improved.\r\n\r\nThese seating options have created a more comfortable and engaging learning environment. Young learners thrive when their physical needs are met, and your contribution has allowed them to learn in ways that support both their minds and bodies.\r\n\r\nAs we continue to grow, our next goal is to offer even more diverse seating choices to meet the varying needs of our students. Traditional plastic chairs simply aren't ideal for young children during long school days, and your support is helping to change that.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our classroom and in the success of every student. Your generosity is felt every day.","fullyFundedDate":1695245132183,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-kindergarteners/7459015/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Kindergarteners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Guerrero","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7918747_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x0,y62&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1687477280410","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7918747"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_10927","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":600,"numTeachers":16,"percentFrplEligible":63,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":44,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":47,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"37.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":77.3,"schoolId":10927,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Tatum Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Tatum Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/farmersville-independent-school-district/tatum-elementary-school/10927"}
