Some of the original items I ordered were unavailable, but that gave me the opportunity to pivot and include a mix of other snacks and fidgets for longer meetings in my office.\r\n\r\nOur next focus is helping seniors complete their college applications. We're working hard on motivation and feedback for the CSU, UC, and Common App applications. These snacks have become a wonderful incentive for students to visit, check in, and stay on track toward their goals.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping create a welcoming and supportive environment for my students!","fullyFundedDate":1759805928723,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-futures-snacks-rewards-for-st/9716155/","projectTitle":"Fueling Futures: Snacks & Rewards for Student Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Muwazu","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10262718_orig.jpg?crop=4232,4232,x1058,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758921063711","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10262718"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_95698","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":302,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":86,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.5,"schoolId":95698,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lighthouse Community Charter High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lighthouse Community Charter High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/oakland-unified-school-district/lighthouse-community-charter-high-school/95698"}
