The donation went to getting stools for students to use as flexible seating. And since adding the stools to the classroom, the students use them every chance they get. Students often \"hide them\" under tables so only they will know where it is to ensure they have a stool. The stools provide students flexible seating because it creates more spaces for students to work around the room. The stools take up less space so more students can sit around a table. The stools are easier to move throughout the room allowing students to quickly get to a work spot and get right to work. And the stools are A LOT safer to maneuver then the bulky chairs.

It is truly appreciated by each student and me!","fullyFundedDate":1727962984246,"projectUrl":"project/5th-graders-on-the-move-to-learn/8656382/","projectTitle":"5th Graders on the Move to Learn!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Staines","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7599361_orig.jpg?crop=2448,2448,x0,y277&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1602439948187","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7599361"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_63573","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":265,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":29,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":73,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"3 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":87.0,"schoolId":63573,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mary G Fritz Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mary G Fritz Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/wallingford-public-school-district/yalesville-elementary-school/63573"}
