Your generosity and kind hearted gift was very much needed and the chairs have improved with the classroom routine significantly. Before we had the chairs, my students with special needs were sitting on adult sized chairs not designed for them and they had difficulty self regulating and participating effectively in class during important lessons. Their learning was greatly reduced and disrupted. With these chairs, we saw a difference within about a week . They were able to focus better due to the design of the chairs and they caused less interruptions for themselves and other students during learning time. The chairs are very sturdy and will last for many years in the classroom. Thank you again for blessing us with your donations and my students thank you as well!","fullyFundedDate":1732302491961,"projectUrl":"project/special-needs-chairs/8906534/","projectTitle":"Special Needs Chairs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rivarde","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5449264"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_892","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":195,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":50,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":44,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.9,"schoolId":892,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 309 George E Wibecan Preparatory on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 309 George E Wibecan Preparatory","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ps-309-george-e-wibecan/892"}
