They learned how to identify the building blocks of a balanced snack, explored a variety of fruits and vegetables, and gained practical experience with food preparation. For some, it was their first time using a blender, tasting ingredients like spinach or mango, or making something from scratch.\r\n\r\nMore than just a fun activity, this project had a lasting impact on our school community:\r\n\r\nIt made nutrition real and accessible. Instead of just reading about healthy choices, students got to live them. They saw that nutritious food can be simple, tasty, and energizing.\r\n\r\nIt empowered students. Many walked away with more confidence—not just in the kitchen, but in their ability to take care of their own health and well-being.\r\n\r\nIt promoted equity. Some of our students don't have regular access to fresh produce or kitchen tools at home. Your support gave them access to something they might not otherwise experience—and for some, it may spark a lifelong interest in cooking or wellness.\r\n\r\nOne student shared, \"I didn't know I liked yogurt until today,\" and another said, \"Can we do this every week?\" These may sound small, but they're powerful steps toward developing lifelong healthy habits and a positive relationship with food.\r\n\r\nFrom my students, our staff, and myself—thank you. You gave more than materials. You gave my students a sense of pride, possibility, and ownership over their health. We are so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1747154172028,"projectUrl":"project/smooth-start-introducing-healthy-cho/9332750/","projectTitle":"“Smooth Start” – Introducing Healthy Choices through Smoothie-Making.","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9171547"},{"teacherId":9985281,"projectId":9331322,"letterContent":"I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you again for contributing to our classroom. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. Our district rarely has the funds to spend on things like new desks or classroom furniture, so coming into brand new, flexible seating options brought excitement and joy to my students. \r\n\r\nThe end of the year, while filled with excitement and fun activities, also has work that needs to be completed. For students who struggle with hyperactivity, overstimulation, or self-regulation, completing their work and participating in class lessons becomes even harder.
