Because of your kindness, our classroom now has two wiggle stools, two floor desks, and a wonderful set of social-emotional books — and they've already made a big difference for my students.\r\nThe wiggle stools and floor desks have been a game-changer. My students love having the choice to sit in a way that helps them focus best. Some kids who used to struggle to stay in their seats are now able to get their wiggles out while still working hard. We've noticed fewer disruptions and a lot more on-task learning time — it's amazing what a little movement and flexibility can do!\r\nThe social-emotional book set has also become a favorite part of our day. We've had some wonderful discussions about feelings, kindness, and empathy. I can see my students growing more thoughtful and understanding of one another — something that's just as important as academics.\r\nYour donation has brought comfort, focus, and joy into our classroom. It's incredible to see how these tools have helped my students feel more confident and successful. Thank you for believing in them and in the power of a supportive classroom environment.","fullyFundedDate":1753372564632,"projectUrl":"project/flex-the-future-seats-for-success/9453387/","projectTitle":"Flex the Future: Seats for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Buehler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9570168_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753102586182","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9570168"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_89653","usesÐǿմ«Ã½":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":552,"numTeachers":51,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":44,"percentWhite":26,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.2,"schoolId":89653,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hillcrest Elementary School on @Ðǿմ«Ã½:","schoolName":"Hillcrest Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/upper-darby-school-district/hillcrest-elementary-school/89653"}
