It has been such a great addition to our classroom. The rug came quickly, and we have been using it for almost a month. After about 4 years with our old rug, I had to rearrange my room. I was very nervous about this because I don't tend to like major change in my room. The change has been very good. The kids love the new rug. They take care of it very well and fight over who gets to vacuum it in the afternoon. The students having their own area to sit in has been a game charger with students not distracting one another during teaching. Thank you again for your donations. I can't wait to see the continued use out of the new rug!","fullyFundedDate":1760473711725,"projectUrl":"project/a-rug-with-a-purpose-helping-students-f/9541205/","projectTitle":"A Rug With a Purpose: Helping Students Find Their Spot","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Reed","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4303532_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1487607176580","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4303532"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_13819","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":507,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":66,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":30,"percentWhite":55,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.8,"schoolId":13819,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dixie Attendance Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dixie Attendance Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/forrest-county-school-district/dixie-attendance-center/13819"}
