Because of your kindness, we can create a healthier and more supportive learning environment for my students, and the impact has already been meaningful.\r\n\r\nIn an elementary classroom, germs spread quickly. Many of my students are still very young and are just learning important healthy habits, such as covering their mouths when they cough or sneeze and washing their hands regularly. As a result, illness can spread easily, often leading to increased absences and interruptions in learning time.\r\n\r\nIn addition, I have students with chronic health conditions who are especially vulnerable to poor air quality and the spread of germs.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support in providing an air purifier and replacement filters, we now have a cleaner classroom environment. The purifier helps reduce allergens, bacteria, and airborne particles, which has already made a noticeable difference in reducing illness and improving overall comfort for my students. \r\n\r\nYour generosity is directly supporting student attendance, engagement, and overall well-being. I am truly grateful for your investment in my classroom and in the success of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1766772215344,"projectUrl":"project/clean-air-clear-minds/9668428/","projectTitle":"Clean Air, Clear Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Goldman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8531795_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1784839882501","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/sges-stem"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1524","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":687,"numTeachers":46,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":22,"percentWhite":45,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":22,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":7,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.2,"schoolId":1524,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sedge Garden Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sedge Garden Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/winston-salem-forsyth-county-schools/sedge-garden-elementary-school/1524"}
