The resources helped make lessons more interactive and enjoyable, encouraging teamwork and participation.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, they were really happy and excited. They were especially motivated knowing that snacks awaited them as they worked. The snacks helped fill their stomachs for a bit before lunch and before going home, which made a big difference in their energy and focus. With smiles on their faces, they eagerly participated in the activities and showed a strong drive to keep working hard for their future.","fullyFundedDate":1763996400990,"projectUrl":"project/motivational-snacks/9916120/","projectTitle":"Motivational Snacks","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Pascual","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9938956_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x264,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742315879342","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9938956"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_50954","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":67,"numTeachers":8,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":98,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"8.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":20.8,"schoolId":50954,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about James C Isabell School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"James C Isabell School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alaska/bering-strait-school-district/james-c-isabell-school/50954"}
