Everytime a student exhibits this behavior, they are given a bark buck. Once a week they are allowed to shop at their grade level Bark Carts with their bucks. There are prizes for every dollar amount, but the more bark bucks they have, the more they can purchase! Thanks to you, the carts have been fully stocked from the beginning of the year, and should last until January. The kids love the variety of prizes they can choose from, including hair bows, fidget toys, legos, fun pencils and so much more. \r\n\r\nWithout donors this school wide project would not exist; so thank you from the bottom of my heart.\r\n\r\nSIncerely,\r\nCarol Davidson","fullyFundedDate":1755879880115,"projectUrl":"project/school-wide-bark-carts/9493384/","projectTitle":"School Wide Bark Carts","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Davidson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9626403"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_89280","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":473,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":41,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":55,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":36,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"1 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.6,"schoolId":89280,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about New Garden Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"New Garden Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/kennett-consolidated-school-district/new-garden-elementary-school/89280"}
