Because we read every day in the classroom, our chairs and books are well loved and well used, no matter how quickly we are able to bring in new donations and purchases, so the huge boxes of chairs and books that you donated to us updated our atmosphere and our reading choices right away. Nothing is as comfortable as a new reading nook, and nothing is as magical as an uncracked book.\r\n\r\nThank you so sincerely for all you have done.

My students appreciate the new high, comfortable chairs and white boards as well. \r\n Students loved the new chairs for the classroom. The first class to use them made presentations to the class. In groups of two or three, students presented newscasts about world climate zones. The pairs worked best as they were both able to sit and point to certain parts of the world. The students were so excited, they now want to sit in them everyday and now take turns so they are more comfortable taking notes. Students cannot wait for the next time they have to make a presentation\r\n The white boards are also a big hit. We have been able to do a review for quizzes very quickly and efficiently. It is nice to have a board for each student so they don't have to share. They can do their own work. Students have also been asking to use them as a hard surface to write on. Especially if they are sitting in the new comfortable chairs they do need a hard surface to write on. So they like to use the new white boards.","fullyFundedDate":1760795952346,"projectUrl":"project/team-griffin-6th-grade-presentations-mat/9828713/","projectTitle":"Team Griffin 6th Grade Presentations Materials","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. English","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10312022"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_69904","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":795,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":8,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":71,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":15,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"21.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":46.2,"schoolId":69904,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sussex Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sussex Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/delaware/delaware-department-of-education/sussex-academy-of-arts-sciences/69904"}
