These seemingly simple items have made a profound and lasting impact on the learning environment, directly supporting student success and overall classroom efficiency.\r\n\r\nA high-quality pencil sharpener is far more than a convenience—it is a vital tool that ensures students always have access to well-maintained writing instruments. With a reliable sharpener readily available, students are able to stay focused on their work without the frustration or delays that come from using dull pencils. This seemingly small addition has significantly reduced interruptions during instructional time and has helped maintain a steady workflow, keeping students engaged and productive throughout the day.\r\n\r\nEqually important, wiggle seats have brought a transformative benefit to our classroom. Many students, especially those who struggle with attention or sensory processing, find it difficult to remain still for long periods. Wiggle seats provide these students with the opportunity for subtle movement, allowing them to release excess energy in a way that is not disruptive to others. As a result, these students are more focused, more comfortable, and better able to participate actively in lessons.\r\n\r\nTogether, these tools have created a more inclusive and supportive learning environment. They accommodate diverse learning needs and styles, reduce distractions, and enhance both academic engagement and emotional well-being. The impact goes beyond academics—it helps build a classroom culture where every student feels equipped and empowered to do their best.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your support and commitment to improving educational experiences for all students. Your contribution has truly made a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1746805165350,"projectUrl":"project/comfort-for-the-classroom/9082454/","projectTitle":"Comfort for the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. DeRosa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7871408"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_21086","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":484,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":69,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"11.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":79.1,"schoolId":21086,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about W.H.
