Your kindness has already made a wonderful impact in our classroom. Having healthy and easy-to-grab snacks available each day helps students stay focused, energized, and ready to learn. For many young children, a snack can make all the difference in helping them regulate emotions, participate positively, and stay engaged throughout our busy school day.\r\n\r\nThe students were so excited when they saw the snack supplies arrive. They immediately noticed all the different choices and were eager to talk about their favorites. One special moment was seeing students practice patience and manners as they took turns choosing a snack and saying \"thank you.\" Snack time has also become a chance to build independence as students learn to open packages, clean up after themselves, and make responsible choices.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, we can continue focusing on learning without worrying about hungry tummies distracting us. Our students are working hard on early reading, counting, sharing, and problem-solving skills each day, and having snacks available helps them do their best. Thank you for caring for our classroom and helping create a warm, supportive environment where children can learn and grow.","fullyFundedDate":1769021095502,"projectUrl":"project/help-fuel-our-brains/10040583/","projectTitle":"Help Fuel Our Brains","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wallander","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3744040_orig.jpg?crop=1420,1420,x741,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768764496988","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3744040"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_69797","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":342,"numTeachers":14,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":93,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"24.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.3,"schoolId":69797,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ralph H Metcalfe School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ralph H Metcalfe School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/milwaukee-public-schools/ralph-h-metcalfe-school/69797"}
