This is my first year teaching in my school district, and your support has meant so much to both my students and me.\r\n\r\nMy students have been putting in great effort to earn Paw Panther tickets, which they can use at our Treasure Store. Because of your generosity, I was able to fill the store with items that truly excite them. Watching them work toward earning tickets has been so rewarding, because they are not only making progress toward their IEP goals, but also learning responsibility, patience, and the value of hard work.\r\n\r\nWhen I first set up the Treasure Store, my students were amazed and excited. They carefully counted their Paws, discussed what they hoped to buy, and proudly celebrated their efforts. What may seem like simple items have become meaningful tools for motivation, confidence, and happiness in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your support, generosity, and care for my students. Your kindness has helped create a positive and encouraging classroom experience that they truly look forward to.","fullyFundedDate":1772546735472,"projectUrl":"project/motivation-station-small-rewards-big-w/9945695/","projectTitle":"Motivation Station: Small Rewards, Big Wins!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Manacap","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10374910_orig.jpg?crop=2048,2048,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764903982340","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-manacap"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4883","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":508,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":32,"percentAsian":26,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":18,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":42,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"25.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":86.0,"schoolId":4883,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Oak Ridge Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Oak Ridge Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/oak-grove-school-district/oak-ridge-elementary-school/4883"}
