Thank you.\r\n\r\nI know this music carpet was expensive. There was no viable way I could have bought this on my own so I am immensely appreciative. This is my third year of teaching at Devonshire Elementary school and I wanted a music carpet from day one of year one. Because of your generosity and support, I finally have a new music carpet on day one of year three.\r\n\r\nThis carpet ties my room together. I've worked so hard to make my classroom a fun and welcoming place for our students, but the central component was missing...until now. I can't wait for this carpet to be lovingly used by every student in our school. Amazing things will happen on this foundation and I am so grateful. Thank you again.","fullyFundedDate":1746786141632,"projectUrl":"project/help-mr-gordon-get-a-music-carpet/9076248/","projectTitle":"Help Mr. Gordon Get a Music Carpet!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Gordon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9877805_orig.jpg?crop=1988,1988,x401,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1734579673722","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9877805"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1592","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":550,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":23,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":69,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":44.4,"schoolId":1592,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Devonshire Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Devonshire Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/charlotte-mecklenburg-school-district/devonshire-elementary-school/1592"}
