They truly are the neediest among our population and are often overlooked because they don't speak the language yet. They at times get excluded from activities and ignored by the mainstream students. It's not easy coming to a new country and trying to learn a new language and customs and going though puberty all at once. \r\nThis is why a sweet treat can make such a difference. Something as small as a Nutella cup on Fridays can put on smiles on their little faces.","fullyFundedDate":1778276261005,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-for-latino-immigrant-kids/10274974/","projectTitle":"Snacks for Latino Immigrant Kids","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Travisano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4934103_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1517309725930","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-travisano"},{"teacherId":4934103,"projectId":9966773,"letterContent":"These puzzles have been a godsend. My students absolutely love competing against each other in groups with puzzles. I pair them into twosmes or threesomes and they compete against each other to see who can complete a puzzle first. They learn teamwork and use critical thinking skills to complete these puzzles. It's a great brain break from the reading and writing of every day without being down time. As a prize for completing a puzzle first, the teams receive a homework pass, a valuable gift. Thank you for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1773860633678,"projectUrl":"project/puzzles-for-immigrant-students/9966773/","projectTitle":"Puzzles for Immigrant Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Travisano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4934103_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1517309725930","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-travisano"},{"teacherId":4934103,"projectId":10116456,"letterContent":"Having snacks on Fridays has been such a delight for my bilingual students. They literally ask about the snacks all week long. When I open the box, their eyes light up. From cookies to chips, the snacks make their day. They won't go hungry all day because the cafeteria food is foreign to them. The students and I appreciate your generosity beyond words. I tell them there are some good people out there who really care about you, and they appreciate it. Words can not express our deep gratitude, and hopefully one day we can pay it forward.","fullyFundedDate":1772550295067,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-for-young-immigrants/10116456/","projectTitle":"Snacks for Young Immigrants","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Travisano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4934103_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1517309725930","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-travisano"},{"teacherId":4934103,"projectId":10061558,"letterContent":"You have no idea how my students' eyes lit up when I opened up the boxes of snacks! I have now designated Fridays as snack day and the kids get to pick from my boxes before the period ends. They so look forward to this time each week, and I'm so glad I was able to provide that for them. \r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity my students will spend Fridays without hunger from not eating the cafeteria food. Even a little box of Nutella or some chips lifted them up a bit. Kindness goes a long way, especially for kids who don't have much.","fullyFundedDate":1771541861990,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-for-immigrant-kids/10061558/","projectTitle":"Snacks for Immigrant Kids","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Travisano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4934103_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1517309725930","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-travisano"},{"teacherId":4934103,"projectId":9954074,"letterContent":"These tasty snacks have been a total game changer for my students who don't enjoy the American-style cafeteria food. They did not spend the day hungry thanks to my snacks and were able to focus and succeed in class. They loved the popcorn and cookies so much. These were a lifesaver. Whenever I pulled out a packet, their eyes lit up. Some of these immigrant students had never even had peanut butter, and they loved it. \r\nYour generosity helped so many students. For that, we are infinitely grateful.

These books have opened new doors for these immigrant students. Some had never read a complete book before. \r\nI translated the book for them and explained unknown words. The students worked on research projects, answered comprehension questions and completed team and individual projects. Without your generosity, these kids would never have the opportunity to experience real literature.

It was a great break from the textbook. My English learners loved reading about American culture in English.\r\nWe lead the book out loud with me translating. I also assigned various projects and illustrations along the way. The students worked as a team and as partners. \r\nThey wrote reports, created Google Slides presentations and practiced with new vocabulary words. They analyzed characters and wrote dialogues.\r\nIf not for your kindness, these types of books would not be a possibility.","fullyFundedDate":1764708247281,"projectUrl":"project/novels-for-esl-students/9657002/","projectTitle":"Novels for ESL Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Travisano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4934103_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1517309725930","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-travisano"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_134456","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":null,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":91,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":false,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":60.0,"schoolId":134456,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about North Bergen Junior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"North Bergen Junior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/north-bergen-school-district/north-bergen-junior-high-school/134456"}
