These stools have done more than improve the aesthetics of our room—they've created a more welcoming and focused learning environment.\r\n\r\nSince adding the stools to our stations, I've seen a real difference in student engagement. With more comfortable seating, students are better able to stay on task during hands-on activities, discussions, and group projects. The improved focus and reduced distractions have enhanced the overall learning experience. The flexible seating also allows for smoother transitions between activities, encouraging collaboration and active participation during our lessons.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward into our unit on ecosystems, the impact of this project continues to grow. The new stools make it easier for students to engage in rotating lab stations and group investigations. Your support has helped us create a space where learning feels both purposeful and enjoyable. Thank you for making this possible—you've truly made a difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1729606122741,"projectUrl":"project/station-stools/8719100/","projectTitle":"Station Stools","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Price","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8431251_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x551,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1696254376695","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jcms-aprice"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_92767","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":643,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":65,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":92,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"14.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":60.0,"schoolId":92767,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Johnson County High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Johnson County High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/tennessee/johnson-county-school-district/johnson-co-high-school/92767"}
