Your gift made this incredible experience possible for my students! This has undoubtedly been their favorite project of the year so far—I could hardly get them to slow down. Once they saw their cyanotype and sun print images develop before their eyes, their creativity took off. They experimented with a variety of compositions and materials, producing stunning and imaginative prints on paper and canvas. Not a single scrap went to waste, and it was a joy to watch their excitement and artistic growth.

Because of you, we were able to add a variety of flexible seating options that are already making a powerful difference in the way my students learn.\r\n\r\nFlexible seating empowers students to take charge of their learning by giving them the freedom to choose where and how they work best. Since adding the new seats I've seen noticeable improvements in student engagement, focus, and motivation. Students are more comfortable, less distracted, and better able to make effective learning choices throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThese new additions especially support those who benefit from movement. It's incredible to watch students light up when they find a space that works for them—and to see how that simple choice helps them take more ownership of their work and mindset.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped create a more inclusive, supportive, and student-centered learning environment. Thank you for believing in the power of choice, and for helping my students grow and thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1734351187983,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-in-5th-grade/8816800/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating in 5th Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hanson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8288966_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y151&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1642816164253","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8288966"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_5137","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":404,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":34,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":63,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"20.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.0,"schoolId":5137,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about John B Riebli Charter Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"John B Riebli Charter Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/mark-west-union-school-district/john-b-riebli-elementary-school/5137"}
