Every student learns differently, and many children benefit from opportunities to move throughout the day.

Your kindness and willingness to support our students made a meaningful difference in their daily experience, and we are truly thankful for your generosity.\r\n\r\nYour thoughtful donation provided much more than food. It gave our students the fuel they needed to remain attentive during instruction and maintain their energy while completing assignments and participating in classroom discussions. Many students looked forward to snack time each day, not only because it satisfied their hunger but also because it gave them the encouragement to continue working hard throughout the remainder of the day.\r\n\r\nYour generosity also created a welcoming and supportive classroom environment. Knowing that a snack was available helped reduce distractions caused by hunger and allowed students to concentrate on learning instead of worrying about whether they would have something to eat between meals. This simple act of kindness had a significant impact on student engagement, participation, and overall well-being.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your compassion, generosity, and continued support of education. We are grateful for community partners like you who help make a difference in the lives of our students every day. Your generosity has left a lasting impression, and we truly appreciate all that you have done for our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1779839504355,"projectUrl":"project/summer-school-snacks/10290904/","projectTitle":"Summer School Snacks","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kellerman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9117307_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y200&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1697035058141","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9117307"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_77041","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1549,"numTeachers":79,"percentFrplEligible":48,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":70,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":2,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.1,"schoolId":77041,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Fort Osage High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Fort Osage High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/fort-osage-school-district-r1/ft-osage-high-school/77041"}
