Her class met right after lunch, and she often found herself struggling to stay awake and focused while taking notes. When I mentioned her idea to the rest of the class, several students quickly agreed that a standing desk would be helpful—especially on those days when sitting still felt extra challenging.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generous support, that wish became a reality. Last spring, our classroom received three brand-new standing desks. While they arrived close to the end of the school year and only saw a little use at first, they are now making a real difference for a new group of students.\r\n\r\nThis year, students are excited to use the standing desks both in class and even out in the hallway when they need a change of pace. Some enjoy taking notes while standing, while others use the desks as a way to stay more alert and engaged during lessons. Already, I can see how having this flexible option helps them take ownership of their learning and find what works best for them.\r\n\r\nYour support gave my students something simple but powerful: choice. Thank you for helping make our classroom a place where students feel comfortable, supported, and able to learn in the way that fits them best.","fullyFundedDate":1744033005218,"projectUrl":"project/help-my-students-stay-engaged-with-stand/9057782/","projectTitle":"Help My Students Stay Engaged With Standing Desks","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. ShelbyBrooks","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9878287_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754147783438","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9878287"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_9220","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1475,"numTeachers":92,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":63,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":15,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":9220,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Whitehouse High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Whitehouse High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/whitehouse-independent-school-district/whitehouse-high-school/9220"}
