Thanks to you we have been able to put together a website where students can shop from to spend their PBIS SOAR tickets. On the website are various creations that fourth graders have designed and built in the student-friendly CAD software called Tinkercad. The project has been so successful. Our fourth graders are proud that their designs are being used by students all over our building. Our younger students are so impressed by the designs and excited to earn PBIS SOAR tickets to be able to purchase them from the store. \r\n\r\nIn particular, and without knowing what impact this would actually have, we have had one student who stood out so strong. He was able to get his design on the site first. It has boosted his confidence and improved his outlook on school. For such a small thing to have such a huge impact warms our teacher hearts at our school.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this possible for our students!","fullyFundedDate":1763062059784,"projectUrl":"project/rewarding-great-behavior-with-3d-creatio/9885964/","projectTitle":"Rewarding Great Behavior With 3D Creations!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Amber McMullen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1485339_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1451431574733","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/aschaefer"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_74313","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":643,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":43,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":86,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"1 - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"14.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":42.4,"schoolId":74313,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Jefferson Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Jefferson Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/new-ulm-public-school-district-88/jefferson-elementary-school/74313"}
