When we unboxed the materials, there were gasps and claps all around. Many students couldn't believe the items were \"just for us!\" One student said, \"This feels like Christmas!!\" It was such a joyful and proud moment.They were so happy that we could learn financial and money management through games. \r\nRight now, we're preparing for a financial project where they'll choose a profession; they will be assigned a salary; they can choose housing, utilities, car. . . Then they will be given \"wrenches\" in their budgets, like a broken water pipe. They will then have to share their progress with the class. These activities will help them to develop both academic and financial knowledge and collaborating with others which will benefit them far beyond this unit.","fullyFundedDate":1755521946419,"projectUrl":"project/learning-about-finances-through-games/9406604/","projectTitle":"Learning About Finances Through Games!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Severance","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1410809_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1546543955238","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1410809"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_41121","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":380,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":95,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"11.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":43.5,"schoolId":41121,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mill River Union High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mill River Union High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/vermont/mill-river-unified-union-school-district/mill-river-union-high-school/41121"}
