Because of your donations, we were able to provide snacks and fidgets that helped create a supportive environment for our students throughout the school year. These simple items made a much bigger impact than many people might expect, and I'm happy to share that we officially finished the year with 15 students graduating through the program!\r\n\r\nThroughout our afterschool sessions, students regularly used the snacks and fidgets while working on assignments, participating in workshops, and building connections with one another. One of my favorite changes to see was students naturally gravitating toward board games and conversations with each other instead of immediately being on their phones. The games gave students opportunities to socialize, decompress after school, and strengthen friendships. It aided in making our afterschool sessions feel less like another class they had to attend and more like a space where they genuinely wanted to be.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, they were excited and immediately appreciative. Many of our students come into the program carrying stress from school, work, family responsibilities, and planning for life after graduation. Having snacks available and tools to help them stay calm and focused showed them that they were cared for and supported. The fidgets especially helped some students stay engaged during workshops and work time, while the snacks gave students the energy they needed after a long school day.\r\n\r\nAs the year came to a close, it was incredible to think back on how much growth took place within the program. Your support helped us build a third space for community and connection among students while also encouraging them to stay engaged in their goals and future plans. Thank you again for believing in our Pirates to Raiders students and helping us create a space where they could refuel, refocus, connect, and succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1770767736833,"projectUrl":"project/feed-their-brains-calm-their-hands-wat/9866971/","projectTitle":"Feed Their Brains, Calm Their Hands, Watch Them Shine!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cazares","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10336984_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x483,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1762456818079","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10336984"},{"teacherId":4797255,"projectId":9957641,"letterContent":"Thank you again for always supporting my classroom.

Being able to give to my students fun snacks at the end of the week has been at the core of my teaching philosophy the past few years. On Fridays, when we eat snacks and play games, it gives me and my students a chance to get to know each other and forget about the worries outside of the classroom. In a world that is so stressful, this is super important. \r\n\r\nCurrently in my classroom (outside of eating snacks) students have been working on a few crucial skills: Greek and Latin Roots, identifying sentence fragments and run-ons, counting money and reading clocks. These might seem like basic skills, but many of my students with learning disabilities or AHAD missed these skills when they were younger. \r\n\r\nThank you again for contributing, look out for more projects from me in the future!","fullyFundedDate":1754328417116,"projectUrl":"project/powering-potential-in-special-education/9486511/","projectTitle":"Powering Potential in Special Education, One Snack at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gordon-Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4797255_orig.jpg?crop=1971,1971,x0,y197&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690840083200","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4797255"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_87855","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":687,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":78,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":47,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":42,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"22.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":68.7,"schoolId":87855,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Phoenix High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Phoenix High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oregon/phoenix-talent-school-dist-4/phoenix-high-school/87855"}
