You truly don't know how uncommon it is for students to receive incentives passed the middle school age . I love being able to give high school seniors rewards , even if it's a bag of chips ! It means a lot to them ! They are in awe when I bring out the snacks and let them pick. Like I mentioned before high school students don't really expect to be rewarded, which is sad and because of this project being funded , I am helping change that . Again from the bottom of my heart I thank you !","fullyFundedDate":1731526781918,"projectUrl":"project/high-school-classroom-incentives/8544685/","projectTitle":"High School Classroom Incentives","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Flores","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9203858_orig.jpg?crop=2231,2231,x134,y309&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742317938961","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9203858"},{"teacherId":5958549,"projectId":8949705,"letterContent":"The snacks have been a huge help in keeping my students focused and energized throughout the school day. Whether they need a quick boost before a test or something to tide them over during long study sessions, these snacks have made a noticeable difference. My students were genuinely excited and grateful! Many students mentioned how helpful it was to have snacks on hand, especially for those who don't always have time to grab breakfast or lunch. Some were surprised that donors would contribute to something as simple but essential as snacks, and it really reinforced for them that there are people out there who care about their success.","fullyFundedDate":1731873833791,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-supplies-incentives/8949705/","projectTitle":"Classroom Supplies & Incentives","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Harrison","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5958549"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_15522","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1757,"numTeachers":100,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":92,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"17.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":44.9,"schoolId":15522,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Southside High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Southside High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/southside-independent-school-district/southside-high-school/15522"}
