Our classroom was in need of a new rug for our reading area and we also needed to add a calm down area in our classroom. With your generous donations we were able to receive both rugs.\r\n\r\n The students were so excited when the rugs arrived and couldn't wait to use them. The students have enjoyed both rugs and they get used daily. Students like to lay on the rugs and read books. The calm down area rug gives them an area they can retreat to if they need to calm down or gives them a place to think.\r\n\r\n It is because of generous donors as yourself that these projects get funded. The students and teachers benefit greatly from Donor's Choose. I was so excited to hear that my project was funded and I was able to share the news with my students. Thank you again for funding my project. It has been a huge blessing to me and my students.","fullyFundedDate":1732636679650,"projectUrl":"project/reading-makes-us-sharpstay-calm-all-is/8527173/","projectTitle":"Reading Makes Us Sharp/Stay Calm All Is Good","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. MacDowell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4238335_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1485401744115","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4238335"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_50578","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":600,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":73,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":28,"percentWhite":50,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":74.5,"schoolId":50578,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Futral Road Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Futral Road Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/griffin-spalding-county-school-district/futral-road-elementary-school/50578"}
