The excitement was incredible—students were absolutely overjoyed when they walked in and saw the new learning space!\r\n\r\nThe addition of standing desks, stools, and rocking chairs has transformed the classroom environment. Students now have the freedom to choose where and how they learn best—whether standing and working, sitting on stools, moving desks to work independently, or clustering together for group projects. The flexibility has encouraged greater collaboration, focus, and comfort.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, our students love the movement that these options provide. The rocking chairs and adjustable desks allow them to stay engaged and energized throughout the day. It's amazing to see how these changes have fostered both productivity and joy in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making such a meaningful difference in our students' daily learning experience. Your generosity has created a space that truly supports creativity, collaboration, and growth.","fullyFundedDate":1755687699626,"projectUrl":"project/take-a-stand-for-student-success/9417966/","projectTitle":"Take a Stand for Student Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Robertson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5157216_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1656036810323","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5157216"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35033","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":552,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":44,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":14,"percentWhite":54,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.9,"schoolId":35033,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hermitage Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hermitage Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/virginia-beach-city-public-schools/hermitage-elementary-school/35033"}
