As newcomers to the United States, many of my students are balancing the challenges of learning English, adjusting to a new school system, and working hard to succeed academically. Having snacks and classroom supplies readily available allows them to focus more fully on learning without worrying about whether they have the materials or energy they need to participate.\r\n\r\nMy students were incredibly excited when they first saw the new supplies and snacks. These resources have already supported our daily lessons, collaborative activities, Regents preparation, and project-based learning. Something as simple as having a snack during an after-school tutoring session or the supplies needed to complete a classroom project helps students feel supported and ready to keep working.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, my students will continue strengthening their academic skills, English-language development, and confidence as learners. We will use these resources during classroom projects, small-group instruction, tutoring, and Regents preparation throughout the year. Thank you for investing in my students and helping create a classroom where our newcomer students have the resources they need to learn, grow, and succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1764696904228,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-and-supplies-to-fuel-newcomer-suc/9832808/","projectTitle":"Snacks and Supplies to Fuel Newcomer Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. DJ","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9125290_orig.jpg?crop=640,640,x0,y34&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747246508443","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/djlhs"},{"teacherId":7033380,"projectId":10138881,"letterContent":"Got it!

Because of you, my students now have access to a reliable source of nutrition that keeps them focused, energized, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, a snack is so much more than just food; it is a vital tool for equity and a pillar of support for our newcomer community. My students are all recently arrived in this country, navigating the immense challenge of acclimating to a new culture, language, and school system all at once. For a student who has left everything behind, a well-stocked pantry represents more than just a meal—it is a source of stability and comfort in an environment that often feels overwhelming and unfamiliar.\r\n\r\nThe Impact of Your Gift\r\nA Safety Net for Food Insecurity: Many of our families are still finding their footing, and food insecurity is a real hurdle. These snacks ensure that no student has to choose between their education and their hunger.\r\n\r\nFuel for Working Students: Many of my students balance the heavy responsibility of working jobs late into the night to support their families while attending school full-time. These snacks provide the essential calories they need to stay awake and engaged after a long shift.\r\n\r\nA Sense of Belonging: Providing food is a universal gesture of care. For newcomers, it signals that our classroom is a safe space where they are seen, valued, and supported as they build their new lives here.\r\n\r\nYour investment has transformed our classroom into a more supportive and inclusive environment. You aren't just providing snacks; you are providing the \"fuel\" for their American dream. Thank you for recognizing the unique needs of my students and for helping me ensure that hunger is never a barrier to their success.\r\n\r\nWith gratitude,","fullyFundedDate":1759964350501,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-for-newcomers-to-nyc/9771200/","projectTitle":"Snacks for Newcomers to NYC!","teacherDisplayName":"Mx.

By mid-afternoon, the initial energy they got from the limited school lunch was gone. They were hungry, tired, and losing focus—a disheartening setback for students who are already navigating the challenging journey of learning English and adjusting to a new country.\r\n\r\nYour support changed that narrative instantly.\r\n\r\nThe Difference You Made:\r\n\r\nNow, when that mid-day slump hits, we pause for a nutritious snack—a granola bar, some popcorn, or some potato chips—that serves as a vital bridge between lunch and home.\r\n\r\nThis project was never just about food; it was about ensuring that every child had the fundamental fuel needed to keep going, learn effectively, and build a brighter future in their new home. You didn't just provide snacks; you provided an investment in their academic success and overall health.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, and on behalf of my incredibly resilient students, thank you for believing in our classroom and making learning possible, every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1759148788082,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-for-ells/9768034/","projectTitle":"Snacks for ELLs!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cohen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9929780_orig.jpg?crop=4000,4000,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1792580565296","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9929780"},{"teacherId":9755320,"projectId":9806938,"letterContent":"I want to express my gratitude for your generous donation.
