Your generosity has truly made a difference. My students are absolutely thrilled with the new seating choices, and I now have enough for each one of them. It's such a relief to see that no one has to compete for a spot—they all have access to a comfortable, engaging seat.\r\n\r\nThese flexible seating cushions have not only brought excitement to our classroom but have also had a noticeable impact on focus and participation. The students are able to gently wobble and move while still maintaining a stable and supportive seat, which helps them channel their energy in a positive way. I've already seen improvements in attention during lessons and greater collaboration during group activities.\r\n\r\nAnother wonderful feature is how easy they are to store and organize. They fit perfectly in our classroom space, keeping everything neat and accessible. The flexibility and practicality of these seats have truly transformed our learning environment into one that encourages movement, comfort, and engagement.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your kindness and support in making this vision come to life. Your contribution has created a more dynamic and inclusive classroom where every student can learn and thrive. We are all so grateful for your generosity and the positive impact it continues to have every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1757274474242,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating/9669702/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Edmisten","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10091702"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_19241","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":564,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":69,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":83,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"18.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":77.2,"schoolId":19241,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Prairie Crossing Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Prairie Crossing Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/benton-community-schools/prairie-crossing-elementary-school/19241"}
