When the store opens, the excitement in the room is electric. They can't wait to cash in their hard-earned points for prizes, and they've been incredibly motivated to make positive choices throughout the week.\r\n\r\nThe first time students saw the store display, their eyes lit up. They rushed over to read the prize list, pointing out their favorites and immediately setting goals. One student proudly declared, \"I'm saving up for lunch with the teachers!\" while another said, \"I'm going to get that bracelet for my sister.\" Their reactions showed me just how powerful this project is in sparking joy and motivation.\r\n\r\nWe've already seen the store create a more positive classroom culture. Students encourage each other to earn points, and some even strategize together about saving versus spending. It's not just about rewards — it's about teamwork, goal setting, and celebrating their effort.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our next step is to tie the store into our lessons by connecting rewards to academic growth. For example, students can earn points for showing diligence in writing, teamwork during group projects, or thoughtful participation in social studies debates. The Dojo Store will continue to be a place where hard work pays off and students feel recognized for their growth.\r\n\r\nYour support made this joy possible. Thank you for believing in my students and giving them something that makes learning fun, motivating, and rewarding!","fullyFundedDate":1753590649372,"projectUrl":"project/reward-cart/9494852/","projectTitle":"Reward Cart","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Thompson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8763785_orig.jpg?crop=747,747,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1679367461261","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8763785"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_125391","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":386,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":59,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":88,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":36.3,"schoolId":125391,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Empower College Preparatory High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Empower College Preparatory High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/arizona-department-of-education/empower-college-prep-junior-shs/125391"}
