I teach seniors, so there is unfortunately a lot of apathy, as they recognize how close they are to the finish line and just want to get over it as painlessly as possible. That being said, with my prize box brimming with fun and engaging fidgets, crafts, snacks, candy, and more, they were so much more inclined to participate and compete in games/activities if they knew the prize box was up for grabs. I seriously cannot tell you how many times they SCREAMED when they lost a game/activity and subsequently a chance at grabbing a prize from my prize box. It helped make lessons and classes so much more engaging, especially in those tough last few months of school when they just want class to be easy, rather than fun but also challenging. Thank you so much for the incredible gifts that kept my seniors going. I am incredibly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1746785481565,"projectUrl":"project/seniors-are-just-oversized-kindergartene/9195320/","projectTitle":"Seniors Are Just Oversized Kindergarteners: Help Them Enjoy School Too!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Radziewicz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8949596"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_43851","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":536,"numTeachers":56,"percentFrplEligible":61,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":92,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"9.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":48.8,"schoolId":43851,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Northwestern Regional High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Northwestern Regional High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/northwestern-regional-school-district-7/northwestern-regional-high-school/43851"}
