One special moment was during our morning lesson when several students said the snacks helped them feel \"ready to learn\" and \"not hungry anymore,\" which helped them stay focused through reading time.\r\n\r\nWhen the snacks first arrived, the students were so excited! They couldn't believe we had so many options, and their smiles said everything. Some even asked if they could help pass them out because they felt proud to be part of the routine.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for us are to continue using snack time to support focus, energy, and participation during lessons. Having consistent snacks allows students to stay engaged, learn comfortably, and build healthy habits throughout the day. Your support has made this possible, and we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1746729999138,"projectUrl":"project/fuel-for-focus-snacks-matter/9269397/","projectTitle":"Fuel for Focus: Snacks Matter","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nash","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8665307_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746754643471","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8665307"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_124278","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":110,"numTeachers":7,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":58,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":37,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":124278,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about New Life Charter Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"New Life Charter Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/broward-county-public-schools/new-life-charter-academy/124278"}
