We had students from all grade levels who received punch cards - some even more than one! Teachers shared that when students noticed their peers getting rewarded for being kind, they wanted to do something kind too! That is the whole goal of Kindness Coupons - to spark more positive change.\r\n\r\nWe know rewards highly motivate our students and we instill that repeatedly practicing skills will make them become a habit. Many of our students who received Kindness Coupons are still completing kind acts even after the store is closed for the year. It is our hope that this program sparks conversation and motivation amongst our student body to want to do more positive and kind things for each other and that they will carry those skills with them for the rest of their lives.\r\n\r\nThank you for being a part of a more positive change in the world.","fullyFundedDate":1739490630603,"projectUrl":"project/kindness-krew-coupon-store/8914462/","projectTitle":"Kindness Krew Coupon Store","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Adamson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5386555_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1697126035287","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5386555"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_94521","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":728,"numTeachers":58,"percentFrplEligible":73,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":44,"percentWhite":23,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":21,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":58.5,"schoolId":94521,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about River Oaks Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"River Oaks Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/dorchester-school-district-two/river-oaks-middle-school/94521"}
