Because of your support, my students were able to participate in a five-week personal finance unit that ended with a fun and meaningful experience—a movie day complete with a fully stocked concession stand where they used the classroom money they earned and saved. Your contributions brought this idea to life in the best way.\r\n\r\nThroughout the unit, students earned play money by completing assignments, helping others, and participating in class. They learned to budget, save, and make smart financial choices. When they saw the concession stand filled with snacks, their excitement was off the charts! Many carefully considered their purchases, while others proudly realized they had saved enough to buy everything on their wish list.\r\n\r\nThis experience helped my students connect financial lessons to real life. It gave them a sense of responsibility and pride in managing their money. Thank you again for making this possible. Your generosity created a lasting impact on their learning and made financial literacy fun, engaging, and unforgettable.","fullyFundedDate":1746783017956,"projectUrl":"project/lights-camera-budget/9251746/","projectTitle":"Lights, Camera, Budget!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Serna","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9997056_orig.jpg?crop=232,232,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744299028029","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9997056"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_100652","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":846,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":13,"percentWhite":26,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":51,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"27.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":89.2,"schoolId":100652,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about School of Science and Technology - Alamo on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"School of Science and Technology - Alamo","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/texas-department-of-education/sst-alamo/100652"}
