One student said, \"It's like Christmas came early!\" When the new snacks arrived, the students were thrilled! You could see the excitement on their faces as they unpacked the boxes—some even gasped and clapped. It was a moment of pure joy and appreciation. For many of my students, having access to snacks throughout the day is more than just a treat—it's a boost in focus, energy, and confidence.\r\n\r\nWe recently tied the snacks into a classroom project on healthy habits and nutrition. As part of our science and health unit, students researched the benefits of different food groups, then created \"Snack Smart\" posters that highlighted how healthy foods help their brains and bodies during the school day. During our \"Snack & Study\" sessions, students had quiet time to work on independent reading or math while enjoying their snacks—combining nourishment with learning.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generous support. Your contribution did more than just send snacks—it sent a message to my students that they matter.","fullyFundedDate":1737888316723,"projectUrl":"project/fueled-brains-happy-bodies/8940684/","projectTitle":"Fueled Brains Happy Bodies!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stephanie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9601392_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754093990659","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9601392"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_75813","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":204,"numTeachers":9,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":53,"percentWhite":21,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"22.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":75813,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Heir Force Community School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Heir Force Community School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/-county-run-/heir-force-community-school/75813"}
