You gave my students the opportunity to have a great memory of this day, when together they celebrated their achievements. And that it will always remember and smile. \r\n\r\nWhen my students saw the boxes their eyes lit up. My students know that sometimes I bring prizes for them, so when they saw the boxes, they quickly started asking \"what are those floaties for?\" And I simply said, \"it's a surprise for Friday\" and they smiled. They knew they were coming their way. \r\n\r\nIt was the first time I ever did this. And it was definitely the highlight of the year. Being able to use the pool set up to celebrate their growth, was so fun!. They were loving it, at one point one of my students stacked 5 floaties while he was standing in the middle, he was so happy to do so. It was definitely new for them too. \r\n\r\nAnother special moment was our award ceremony. Every time one of them was called to received their academic and behavior growth award they were smiling and feeling so proud of themselves, but also their classmates every time they clapped for them. The best part was their faces because they were taking them home. \r\n\r\nYour generosity gave my students joy, pride, and encouragement to keep striving. Thank you for believing in them and creating such meaningful difference in their lives.","fullyFundedDate":1747211002141,"projectUrl":"project/making-waves-for-good-choices/9345702/","projectTitle":"Making Waves For Good Choices","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McCarragher","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10032529"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_13931","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":340,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":76,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":55.7,"schoolId":13931,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Routh Roach Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Routh Roach Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/garland-independent-school-district/routh-roach-elementary-school/13931"}
