Because of your generosity, our students now have floor cushions, wiggle seats, and a breathing buddy, three tools that are already making a huge difference in our learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe floor cushions have given students a cozy and flexible space to work during reading, partner tasks, and independent learning. Many of my students focus better when they can choose a comfortable spot, and these cushions allow them to feel calm, supported, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThe wiggle seats have been an incredible support for my students who need movement to stay engaged. Instead of struggling to sit still, they can now channel their energy in a productive way. I've already seen an improvement in focus, stamina, and confidence.\r\n\r\nOur new breathing buddy has quickly become a class favorite. It has become part of our routine for practicing mindfulness, calming our bodies, and learning self-regulation strategies. Students love using it during transitions or when they feel overwhelmed, and it has helped create a more peaceful, supportive atmosphere.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has given my students tools that help them feel safe, regulated, and ready to learn each day. We are truly grateful for the positive impact you've made in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and for investing in their success!","fullyFundedDate":1758745784653,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating/9577297/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gentry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10048251_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752974846370","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10048251"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_66890","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":540,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":67,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":57,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":21,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":67.0,"schoolId":66890,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ruckersville Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ruckersville Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/greene-county-school-district/ruckersville-elementary-school/66890"}
