These flexible seating options have empowered my students to become more independent by giving them the ability to choose seating that best suits their individual needs. The excitement they expressed when they first saw the new stools was palpable, and since then, they have embraced the opportunity to use them daily. These seating choices have allowed students to focus better, engage more actively in lessons, and feel more comfortable throughout the school day. By providing them with the autonomy to choose the seating arrangement that works best for them, we have fostered an environment where students are not only more engaged but also take greater responsibility for their learning.","fullyFundedDate":1735483249004,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-first/8750615/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for First!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Knoll","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9737146"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_33824","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":909,"numTeachers":59,"percentFrplEligible":15,"percentAsian":23,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":48,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"15.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.7,"schoolId":33824,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mantua Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mantua Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/fairfax-county-public-schools/mantua-elementary-school/33824"}
