Our students were overjoyed at the thought that complete strangers cared about their well-being and were willing to supply them with snacks to help them through the day. As I stated in my application, many of our students choose to come to school primarily to get breakfast and lunch and their hunger often interferes with their desire to learn.\r\n Bridgeport Academy is an alternative school and our students have either been suspended long-term or are facing community charges. We often deal with students who have been placed in foster care or are living with extended family members and the meals supplied at school are insufficient for their age. A slice of pizza, a fruit cup, and a milk will not come close to filling the stomach of a teen-ager who relies on that meal from day-to-day. The snacks provided through Donors Choose allowed us to supplement those meals with delicious snacks for our students who needed a little extra.\r\n I sincerely appreciate your selflessness and on behalf of Bridgeport Academy, I pray God's blessings upon you!","fullyFundedDate":1736367163396,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-for-bpa/9031115/","projectTitle":"Snacks for B.P.A.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9887523"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_95825","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":30,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":82,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":59,"percentWhite":21,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"3 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":70.0,"schoolId":95825,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bridgeport Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bridgeport Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/hampton-city-schools/bridgeport-academy/95825"}
