Your kindness made a noticeable impact on their learning and overall well-being. Many of my students come to school without eating breakfast or with limited access to nutritious food throughout the day. Having healthy snacks available helped them stay focused, energized, and ready to learn—especially during those mid-morning and afternoon slumps.\r\n\r\nI noticed a positive change in classroom behavior and participation. Students who were once sluggish or easily frustrated became more alert and engaged. They looked forward to snack breaks and expressed gratitude often, knowing someone out there cared about their needs. Beyond academics, the snacks gave them a sense of security and consistency—something many of them don't always experience at home.\r\n\r\nIt may seem like a small gesture, but to them, it was huge. Your support showed them that their health and education matter. It reminded them that they are seen, valued, and supported by a wider community. Thank you for investing in their success—you truly made a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1735398387847,"projectUrl":"project/munchies-with-the-minis/8989239/","projectTitle":"Munchies with the Minis","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wayans","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8363153_orig.jpg?crop=800,800,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1646932358981","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/withlovemissw"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_128116","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":506,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":41,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":38,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":39,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":81.8,"schoolId":128116,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Legacy Trad School - Deer Valley on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Legacy Trad School - Deer Valley","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/legacy-traditional-schools/legacy-traditional-school-deer-valley/128116"}
