Because of your kindness, my students now have a brand-new classroom rug and organized storage for their reading clipboards, and the impact has been immediate and meaningful.\r\n\r\nThe new rug has become the heart of our classroom. It provides a comfortable, welcoming space where students gather for reading lessons, discussions, and shared learning. Having a defined and cozy area has helped my students stay focused, engaged, and excited about reading together.\r\n\r\nThe clipboard storage has also made a big difference in our daily routines. My students use clipboards regularly during reading activities, and having them neatly stored and easily accessible has saved time, reduced clutter, and helped students take more responsibility for their materials. This organization allows us to spend more time learning and less time transitioning.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my classroom is more organized, inviting, and supportive of young readers. Your generosity directly supports my students' love of reading and helps create an environment where they can learn, grow, and succeed every day. Thank you for investing in my classroom and in the education of my students—we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1758847054880,"projectUrl":"project/create-a-cozy-inviting-reading-space-fo/9420349/","projectTitle":"Create a Cozy, Inviting Reading Space for Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jobe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8577609"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_9903","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":501,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":59,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":27,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"14.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":91.8,"schoolId":9903,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Gerard Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Gerard Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/cleburne-independent-school-district/gerard-elementary-school/9903"}
