Having this support has encouraged a more caring and comfortable space for learning.\r\n\r\nThe students were very excited when they first saw the snacks. Their faces glowed with happiness. Many expressed genuine gratitude and shared how much it meant to know that others care about them. Something as simple as a snack has made a real difference in helping students feel seen, supported, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, these snacks continue to remind students that well-being and kindness matters. Our next steps include finding ways to pay that kindness forward, through thank-you notes and discussions about empathy and generosity. Thank you for helping us create a room where students feel both supported and valued.","fullyFundedDate":1760020646356,"projectUrl":"project/fuel-for-wellness/9683124/","projectTitle":"Fuel for Wellness","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Evans","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10105335"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_49062","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":841,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":60,"percentAsian":11,"percentBlack":33,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":37,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"19.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":49062,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Martin Luther King Junior Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Martin Luther King Junior Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/maryland/montgomery-county-public-schools/martin-luther-king-junior-mid-school/49062"}
