I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generous contributions of snacks and drinks to our classroom. Your support has made a significant difference, and I am excited to share how we are using these resources to motivate our students.\r\n\r\nRecently, we implemented a rewards system where students earn tickets by answering questions and putting forth their best efforts in class. The moment we introduced the snacks and drinks as rewards, the classroom atmosphere transformed. The students were overwhelmed with excitement, and their enthusiasm was contagious. They eagerly engaged in class discussions, actively participated, and were motivated to excel, knowing that their hard work could be rewarded.\r\n\r\nWatching the students trade their earned tickets for the snacks was a delightful sight. It not only fostered a sense of community but also encouraged them to support each other in reaching their goals. This tangible reward system has created a positive and motivating environment where every student feels valued and inspired to succeed.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to build on this momentum by continuing to implement the ticket system and introducing new challenges that will further engage the students. The snacks and drinks have not only served as a reward but also as a celebration of their efforts and growth.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your generous contributions. Your support has made a lasting impact on our classroom, and we are excited to share our journey with you as we continue to inspire and motivate our students.","fullyFundedDate":1730943799826,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-learning-motivational-snacks-fo/8569600/","projectTitle":"Fueling Learning: Motivational Snacks for Active Participation","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Juliet Mae Dumepnas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9571808_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758564328076","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9571808"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82788","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":536,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":94,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":95,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"13.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":37.8,"schoolId":82788,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Shiprock High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Shiprock High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-mexico/central-consolidated-school-district-22/shiprock-high-school/82788"}
