It isn't cold or unwelcoming, but rather makes them feel at ease and relaxed. It's easy to dread moving from room to room, but the donations that were made by you have helped me to change that feeling for my students upon entering my classroom. This is a great start for them, because if they aren't comfortable or at ease it's even more of a challenge to get them to learn. \r\n\r\nThank you for your generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1565719479335,"projectUrl":"project/the-big-comfy-classroom/4067920/","projectTitle":"The Big Comfy Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hale","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6393928_orig.jpg?crop=432,432,x467,y230&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1555586614154","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6393928"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_84656","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":789,"numTeachers":49,"percentFrplEligible":50,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":89,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":72.5,"schoolId":84656,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mount Vernon Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mount Vernon Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/mount-vernon-city-school-district/mt-vernon-middle-school/84656"}
