They couldn't believe that people they'd never met cared enough to send them something special. One student exclaimed, \"Someone really did this for us?\" It was a beautiful reminder that our community supports them. Now, snack time has become more than just a break—it's a moment where students feel valued and cared for, which has positively impacted their ability to focus and engage throughout our learning day.\r\nWe've been using the snacks during our afternoon snack time, ensuring that no child has to learn on an empty stomach. I've noticed a significant difference in my students' energy levels, participation, and overall mood. When children's basic needs are met, they're able to fully engage in learning activities. \r\nThank you for being part of our classroom family and for making such a meaningful difference in these young lives!","fullyFundedDate":1755710031690,"projectUrl":"project/fuel-up-friends/9571946/","projectTitle":"Fuel Up, Friends!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. LaMonica Jackson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9135227_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1703461946544","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9135227"},{"teacherId":9337633,"projectId":9095136,"letterContent":"On behalf of my students and myself, I would like to sincerely thank you for your generous contributions that allowed us to create a class store and treasure box to enhance our financial literacy..
