With your help, my 3rd through 5th graders now have access to daily snacks that truly make a difference in their learning experience.\r\n\r\nEach day, my students look forward to our scheduled snack time — they even check the clock and get excited when it's almost 9:30 a.m. or 1:00 p.m.! Those moments have become something they truly anticipate, and their absolute favorite treat is the fruit gummies. For many of them, mornings can be a rush, and some arrive without breakfast. Because of your kindness, they now start their lessons with renewed focus, energy, and smiles.\r\n\r\nI've noticed how much more active, participative, and attentive they've become. Snack time has become more than just a break — it's a joyful moment that helps them refuel, connect, and get ready to learn. This experience also teaches them to be grateful for what they have and to appreciate the generosity of others.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our lessons, this simple act of kindness reminds us daily that there are people who believe in their potential. You've nourished not just their bodies, but their confidence, gratitude, and excitement for school.\r\n\r\nThank you for being part of our classroom journey and for making learning a little sweeter — literally!","fullyFundedDate":1757562169773,"projectUrl":"project/fuel-for-learning-healthy-snacks-for-hu/9598412/","projectTitle":"Fuel for Learning: Healthy Snacks for Hungry Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jollibe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10033223_orig.png?crop=1146,1146,x0,y30&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756768779199","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10033223"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_100128","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":29,"numTeachers":2,"percentFrplEligible":52,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":93,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 11","studentTeacherRatio":"14.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":17.1,"schoolId":100128,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Innoko River School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Innoko River School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alaska/iditarod-area-school-district/innoko-river-school/100128"}
