Your support has made a real difference in my classroom and has brought so much joy to my students. The rewards you've helped provide have been incredibly motivating, and I've seen a real improvement in student engagement and positive behavior. It's wonderful to have a way to celebrate their hard work and achievements. Seeing their faces light up when they get to choose a prize is truly priceless. Your kindness has created a more positive and exciting learning environment for everyone.\r\n\r\nMy students were especially thrilled about the karaoke machine! It's been a huge hit and has made learning so much fun. We've used it for everything from practicing vocabulary to just letting loose and celebrating accomplishments. The pickle-ball paddles have also been a fantastic addition. They've provided a great outlet for energy and have introduced many of my students to a new and exciting sport. And the flexible seating chairs are a game changer! They offer students a choice in how they learn and have made a noticeable difference in their comfort and focus. These items, made possible by your donations, have enriched our classroom in ways I couldn't have imagined.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and for investing in my students' education. Your support means the world to us, and we are so grateful for your help in making our classroom a more engaging and rewarding place to learn. We truly appreciate your belief in our students and your commitment to helping them succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1734486535836,"projectUrl":"project/great-behavior-awards-and-house-point-pr/8956565/","projectTitle":"Great Behavior Awards and House Point Prizes","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Alexander","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8648282"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_42244","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":493,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":17,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":74,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"16.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":76.3,"schoolId":42244,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mercury Mine Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mercury Mine Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/paradise-valley-unified-school-district/mercury-mine-elementary-school/42244"}
