Because of your donations, we were able to purchase a new classroom rug that students now use during our morning meetings, reading time, and throughout the day as part of our flexible seating options.\r\n\r\nThis rug may seem like a simple addition, but it makes a real impact. Flexible seating plays an important role in helping students stay engaged, feel comfortable, and take ownership of their learning. Having a welcoming space where students can gather, read, collaborate, and feel at ease helps build a positive classroom community. The new rug has already become a favorite spot, and it has truly transformed how our room feels.\r\n\r\nYour kindness directly supports my students, and I'm deeply grateful. Thank you for helping us create a classroom environment where every child feels comfortable, valued, and ready to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1755027097454,"projectUrl":"project/community-building-on-a-new-carpet/9563841/","projectTitle":"Community Building on a New Carpet","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kellogg","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9126979"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_45332","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":153,"numTeachers":8,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":60,"percentIndigenous":4,"percentLatinx":29,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"19.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":78.6,"schoolId":45332,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Potter Valley Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Potter Valley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/potter-valley-cmty-usd/potter-valley-elementary-school/45332"}
