I am incredibly lucky to work in a fabulous community that supports teachers and students alike. It is thanks to this community & generous donors like you that our students have their comfy classroom rug for drama class.

From our 1st grade dramatic retelling of Helen Lester's \"Tacky the Penguin\" to 5th grade monologue analysis & performance, our rug will serve as a stage for all students to explore their public speaking skills, character development, and confidence building. One kindergarten student noted how nice it was to have a rug with enough squares for everyone to have their own space! \r\n\r\nIn short, your donation has truly made our classroom a comfy, cozy, safe and welcoming place for ALL children to feel valued and grow. We cannot thank you enough! May your 2025 be full of joy and all things good.","fullyFundedDate":1723654827101,"projectUrl":"project/comfy-classroom-rug-for-dual-language-dr/8549935/","projectTitle":"Comfy Classroom Rug for Dual Language Drama Class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rizza","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9005686_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723072168798","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9005686"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_110610","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":210,"numTeachers":5,"percentFrplEligible":85,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":19,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":70,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"42.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":69.2,"schoolId":110610,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Waltham Dual Language Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Waltham Dual Language Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/waltham-public-schools/waltham-dual-language-elementary-school/110610"}
