Because of your donation, my students received boxes of nutritious snacks, including granola bars and protein bars, which have already made a meaningful difference in our daily school routine. These snacks help students stay focused, energized, and ready to learn throughout the day.\r\n\r\nMany of the students in my class come from families with limited financial resources, so having access to healthy snacks at school is truly impactful. Even more powerful than the snacks themselves has been the gratitude my students have shown. They were genuinely touched to know that someone they have never met cared enough to support them, and they often express appreciation each time they choose a snack.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has helped create a classroom environment where students feel supported, valued, and motivated. Thank you for investing not only in their physical well-being, but also in their confidence and sense of community. Your generosity has made a lasting impression on my students and on me as their teacher.","fullyFundedDate":1763921603503,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-to-fuel-hard-work-and-wipes-to-cl/9539090/","projectTitle":"Snacks to fuel hard work and wipes to clean up!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dean","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2362501_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1469653739070","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-allison-dean"},{"teacherId":4819288,"projectId":9780964,"letterContent":"Thank you all so much for helping make sure that I have more books available for my students in class that I can help curate for them.
