You helped me create a great flexible learning environment for my students. \r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the corner they were very excited. We had been talking about this space for a while and they expressed how much they thought it would be beneficial for them. Especially since they are in the same room all day, every day! We co-created the expectations of how to properly use the space and how to make sure that we could continue to use it for the rest of the year. \r\n\r\nBy providing them a variety of different options for where they can work and who they can work with helps them to make the best decision for themselves at the time, teaching them responsibility and creating a better sense of community.","fullyFundedDate":1739708615762,"projectUrl":"project/alternative-seating-options-for-alternat/9115268/","projectTitle":"Alternative Seating Options for Alternative Education Middle School Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pendleton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9924747_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739646520101","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9924747"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_34779","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1999,"numTeachers":121,"percentFrplEligible":81,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":54,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":73.9,"schoolId":34779,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Harrisonburg High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Harrisonburg High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/harrisonburg-city-school-district/harrisonburg-high-school/34779"}
