Your kindness has truly transformed our learning space in ways that have already made a meaningful difference for my students.\r\n\r\nSince adding these new items, the classroom feels more welcoming, calm, and inviting. The comfortable seating and soft rug have created a cozy environment where students feel relaxed and safe, which has helped them stay focused, engaged, and eager to learn. Many students now choose to sit together on the rug for reading, discussions, and group activities, building a stronger sense of community and collaboration.\r\n\r\nI've noticed that students are more motivated during independent work and more willing to participate in lessons. Having a space that feels like a \"second home\" has been especially beneficial for students who need a quiet, comfortable place to reset and refocus during the day.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has had a direct and positive impact on my students' daily experience, and we are incredibly grateful for your support. Thank you for believing in our classroom and for helping create an environment where students can learn, grow, and thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1758853034268,"projectUrl":"project/middle-school-ells-need-a-calm-cozy-le/9641325/","projectTitle":"Middle School ELLs Need a Calm & Cozy Learning Space","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cruz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1494122_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1488976412278","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-cruz3"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_70400","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":704,"numTeachers":64,"percentFrplEligible":65,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":13,"percentWhite":23,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":56,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"11.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":67.5,"schoolId":70400,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rippowam Middle School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Rippowam Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/stamford-public-schools/rippowam-middle-school/70400"}
