Before this project, many of them struggled with shared chairs, which often distracted from their learning. Now, having their own seats has created a sense of pride and ownership in the classroom environment. It may seem like a small change, but it has had a big impact on their engagement, behavior, and confidence.\r\n Seeing the joy on their faces when the new seating arrived was unforgettable. It was more than just furniture—it was a message that their education matters and that others believe in their potential.\r\n Thank you for helping create a better, more supportive learning space for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1755719454740,"projectUrl":"project/help-give-our-students-a-seat-literal/9580064/","projectTitle":"Help Give Our Students a Seat — Literally!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ramirez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8729042_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1664390368853","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8729042"},{"teacherId":9117946,"projectId":9614289,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible support and generosity toward my project.
