As a Title 1 school, many of my students arrive each day without a snack, and by the afternoon their energy and focus begin to fade. Because of your generosity, I was able to keep our classroom stocked with a variety of snacks—from crunchy chips to healthier options—that gave every child the chance to stay nourished and focused throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nYour gift made an immediate and meaningful difference. Instead of feeling distracted by hunger, my students were able to sustain their stamina for learning, participating, and growing. For children at this age, something as simple as a small snack can transform the way they experience the school day, and you helped make that possible. I am deeply grateful for your kindness and investment in my students' success.","fullyFundedDate":1755724708739,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-snacks/9396441/","projectTitle":"Classroom Snacks","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hayes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10050048_orig.jpg?crop=1760,1760,x1384,y1249&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749063240808","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10050048"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_124279","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":320,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":95,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"4 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":35.7,"schoolId":124279,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Believe Memphis Academy Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Believe Memphis Academy Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/tennessee/memphis-shelby-county-schools/believe-memphis-academy/124279"}
