Your generosity has made such a difference in our classroom, and I am so excited to share just how much these items are being loved and used. When my students first walked into the classroom and saw the new rug and comfy corner, their reactions were priceless. They immediately said things like, \"Wow! Can we use that?\" ,and \"Can I lay on the rug to do my work?\" Seeing their excitement reminded me how something as simple as a comfortable place to sit can make a classroom feel special and inviting.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, you have helped me create more than just a classroom with comfortable seating. You have helped create a classroom where students feel happy, excited, and welcome. A place where they can choose a spot that helps them learn, collaborate with friends, and feel comfortable being themselves.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and for making our classroom a place they enjoy coming to each day. Your generosity has brought smiles, excitement, comfort, and a whole new energy to our learning environment.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for making our classroom a happy, comfy place for all!","fullyFundedDate":1787585458780,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-flexible-minds/10247162/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Flexible Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Walsh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8929888_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y424&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1674650982943","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8929888"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1326","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":521,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":77,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":81.6,"schoolId":1326,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Granite Falls Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Granite Falls Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/caldwell-county-school-district/granite-falls-middle-school/1326"}
