One of the biggest highlights was receiving the water bottles—I personalized each one with the students' names, and their reactions were priceless! They were beyond excited to have something just for them, and it created an immediate sense of pride and ownership.\r\n\r\nIn addition to the water bottles, the new supplies have been used daily for everything from writing and math to art and group projects. Having access to fresh materials has taken a lot of stress out of the day, allowing students to focus more on their learning and less on searching for basic tools. During a recent science project, students used their new supplies to label diagrams and take notes—and of course, kept their water bottles close by to stay hydrated and focused.\r\n\r\nThese simple additions have made a big impact. The personalized water bottles have even helped reduce classroom disruptions, since students are no longer asking to leave to get drinks. As we move forward with new lessons and projects, your support continues to make a difference in how we learn and grow together.

The arrival of the new seating pads brought so much excitement—students lit up with joy the moment they saw them! It was like a little celebration in our room.\r\n\r\nThese simple yet powerful additions have completely changed the way we learn. Students now have the freedom to move away from their desks and find cozy spots around the room where they can focus and feel at ease. Whether they're diving into hands-on science projects, collaborating on math tasks, or enjoying independent reading time, these pads provide the comfort and flexibility they need to do their best work.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was watching a group of students spread out across the room, fully engaged in a science investigation, seated comfortably and chatting excitedly about their discoveries. These are the kinds of learning moments you helped create.\r\n\r\nThe seating pads have not only supported focus and collaboration, but they've also given students a greater sense of ownership over their learning space. They feel trusted, valued, and motivated.\r\n\r\nThank you for being a part of this transformation. Your support has made our classroom a warmer, more student-centered place to grow and thrive. We are so grateful!","fullyFundedDate":1737075863032,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-focused-learning-e/9048944/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Focused Learning: Empowering My Fourth Graders!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lindner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9891891"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_133573","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":41,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":40,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":42,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":76.5,"schoolId":133573,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Thrive Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Thrive Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/new-jersey-department-of-education/thrive-charter-high-school/133573"}
