Because of you, we now have a beautiful new rug that has quickly become the heart of our room.

Having a comfortable, defined space has truly transformed how we learn together.\r\n\r\nWhen the rug first arrived, the students' excitement was impossible to ignore. They immediately convinced me to pause our lesson, and together we moved furniture and rolled it out right then and there. \r\n\r\nAs we look ahead, we'll continue using our rug as a central space for collaborative learning. We're beginning a new unit that will include more partner work, small group discussions, and interactive lessons, and this space will play a key role in helping students stay engaged and connected. It's already making a meaningful difference in how we learn together each day.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this possible. Your generosity has had an immediate and lasting impact on our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1762712474007,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-rug-to-build-community/9882083/","projectTitle":"Classroom Rug to Build Community","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Steven","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2611087_orig.png?crop=1169,1170,x0,y503&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659643456626","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/hmjenkins"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_65704","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":262,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":48,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":80,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"3 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"6.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":42.1,"schoolId":65704,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Loranger Memorial School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Loranger Memorial School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/maine/rsu-23/loranger-middle-school/65704"}
