They turned into motivation, celebration, and recognition. Each time a student received a candy, it symbolized effort, improvement, and good behavior. It created smiles, boosted confidence, and encouraged them to keep striving. Even small rewards made a big difference in helping them feel seen and appreciated.\r\n\r\nThe scotch tape, though simple, helped us maintain a clean, organized, and functional classroom environment. We used it to post learning materials, secure decorations, display student work, and keep things in place. A well-organized classroom creates a space where students feel safe, focused, and proud of their surroundings.\r\n\r\nBecause of these donations, my classroom became a place where students feel motivated, valued, and inspired to shine — not just academically, but personally. Your kindness reminded them that there are people who believe in their success.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping my students shine brighter every day. ✨","fullyFundedDate":1769192077575,"projectUrl":"project/helping-students-shine-through-rewards-a/9989559/","projectTitle":"Helping Students Shine Through Rewards and a Clean Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Asombrado OR Dr. A","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10240395_orig.jpg?crop=552,552,x96,y266&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1770659001976","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/dr-asombrado"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_33578","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":288,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":82,"percentWhite":9,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"8.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":51.2,"schoolId":33578,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about James Solomon Russell Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"James Solomon Russell Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/brunswick-county-school-district/james-solomon-russell-mid-school/33578"}
