Having a food option available when they are hungry helps meet an important need and allows them to focus more fully on learning.\r\n\r\nMy students were excited to see the new food choices available in the classroom. They enjoy being able to grab a breakfast or snack when they need one, and I have noticed that they are more comfortable and ready to participate in class when they are not distracted by hunger.\r\n\r\nThese resources are helping create a supportive classroom environment where students can focus on their lessons instead of worrying about when they will get their next meal. As we continue our daily learning, students will continue to have access to these snacks and breakfast items so they can stay energized, engaged, and ready to learn. I am so grateful to the donors who helped make this possible and supported my students in such a practical and meaningful way.","fullyFundedDate":1786714305050,"projectUrl":"project/start-smart-breakfast-for-bright-future/10008365/","projectTitle":"Start Smart: Breakfast for Bright Futures","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Edwards","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5738860_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1627964495837","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5738860"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16178","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":469,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":24,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":63,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"11.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.1,"schoolId":16178,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Atherton Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Atherton Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/arlington-independent-school-district/atherton-elementary-school/16178"}
