They immediate wanted it all out to use. We've taken them out a few things at a time to enjoy throughout the last few months. \r\n The yoga ball donut chairs are HUGE HIT. We use them daily as my class has a \"comfy seat\" rotation schedule. Makes sitting around the room a lot nicer. The puzzle board is out daily and students love going to it first thing in the morning or during Fun Friday. It didn't take them long to complete the puzzle we got. We are on our 4th one since the board arrive. It's definitely been a huge hit. We are currently in the process of making our calming corner as cozy as can be with the input of our students. \r\n Thank you so much for fulfilling this list. Both 4th grade classes are extremely thankful for your generousity.","fullyFundedDate":1735109589666,"projectUrl":"project/mental-health-is-important/8931985/","projectTitle":"Mental Health Is Important","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hillebrandt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5275095"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_26605","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":262,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":33,"percentWhite":33,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":21,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.4,"schoolId":26605,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Fox Creek Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Fox Creek Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/mclean-co-unit-district-5/fox-creek-elementary-school/26605"}
