Snacks are more than just a treat—they've become an essential part of maintaining focus and energy throughout. Many of my students come to school without having had breakfast because of limited food options and food insecurities at home, so having these snacks on hand ensures they can concentrate on their learning without hunger being a distraction.\r\n\r\nWe use snacks strategically, offering them during study periods, test preparation, or as a mid-morning boost to help keep energy levels steady. They're also an excellent incentive during group activities or individual achievements; motivating students to stay engaged and give their best effort.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the snacks, their excitement was palpable! For some, it was a surprise to see such care and thoughtfulness from people they've never met. Their smiles and gratitude were heartwarming, and it was a powerful reminder to them that others believe in their potential and want to support their success.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this possible—you're fueling not just their bodies but also their dreams and ambitions!","fullyFundedDate":1738945623689,"projectUrl":"project/ms-anderson-you-got-snacks/9058527/","projectTitle":"Ms. Anderson, You Got Snacks?","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. ROTYRA ANDERSON","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9323138_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y57&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1718929584084","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/dear"},{"teacherId":9524485,"projectId":8351350,"letterContent":"Students get to see and feel the projects they created on the computer.
