Your donations have truly transformed our program, allowing us to stock the shelves with exciting and motivational items that our students are eager to earn. The impact has been immediate and incredibly positive. Our students are now more motivated than ever to demonstrate outstanding behavior, citizenship, and academic effort to earn the \"bucks\" needed to shop. It's more than just a reward; it's a powerful lesson in delayed gratification and responsibility.\r\n\r\nThe moment our students first saw the materials was pure joy and excitement—they were elated! We held a grand opening event, and their eyes widened when they saw the variety of brand-new toys, art supplies, sports equipment, and other fun treasures that filled the shelves. They didn't just see prizes; they saw items they could actually \"purchase\" using their hard-earned PBIS money. The act of \"shopping\" has been a crucial element. Watching them carefully count their currency, compare items, and make purchasing decisions is a wonderful classroom moment, as it mirrors a real-world transaction, making the reward feel even more valuable and empowering.","fullyFundedDate":1755521990759,"projectUrl":"project/positive-points-marketplace/9438472/","projectTitle":"\"Positive Points Marketplace\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Worthen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/485896"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_49884","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":406,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":59,"percentWhite":27,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":60.7,"schoolId":49884,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wrens Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wrens Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/jefferson-county-school-district/wrens-elementary-school/49884"}
