Because of your support, my students now have access to snacks that are already making a meaningful impact in our school community.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the snacks, I've been able to offer them during key moments throughout the school day—especially during DCAC/EAOP lunch meetings, one-on-one check-ins, and college readiness workshops. We have also been able to include snacks during our college swag giveaways, which has helped make these events more fun, welcoming, and engaging for students.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the snacks, their reactions were immediate. Many of them were genuinely excited, but more importantly, they felt seen. Several students asked, \"Wait, these are for us?\" and it was such a powerful reminder that something small can make a huge difference in a student's day.\r\n\r\nThe snacks have helped create a more welcoming environment where students feel safe asking for help, participating, and staying focused. It has also allowed me to support students who may not always have access to food during the school day. Even a quick snack has helped students stay energized, calm, and ready to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1764267716134,"projectUrl":"project/bridging-thegap/9752888/","projectTitle":"Bridging TheGap","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Jonathan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10276409_orig.jpg?crop=4152,4152,x1038,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758644883004","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10276409"},{"teacherId":572147,"projectId":9326067,"letterContent":"THANK YOU for your kind and generous donation in support of my classroom!

The beauty of this system is that students rarely lose anything because it's all organizaed in one place.\r\nI ask students to go out and purchase them before the class begins. Sometimes, students either can't find one or, more significantly, they can't afford one. In those cases, I have always purchased one to give them.
