DonorsChoose has a profound impact on my students' academic performance and overall well-being. Many students come to school without consistent access to food, which can make it difficult for them to concentrate, participate, and stay energized throughout the day. Sometimes students whom I've never seen before come to my office to grab something to eat, which is the perfect opportunity to get to know new faces. When I can meet students' basic needs, students are better able to focus on lessons, engage in discussions, and complete their work with greater confidence and persistence.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, supplying food fosters a stronger sense of care and community here at Snowden. Students who might otherwise feel self-conscious or distracted by hunger are able to feel supported and included in the learning environment. This can improve classroom behavior, reduce anxiety, and build trust with me, a new face.","fullyFundedDate":1773429002270,"projectUrl":"project/feed-hungry-teens/10084793/","projectTitle":"Feed Hungry Teens","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Corrielus","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5088276_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1515808657022","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5088276"},{"teacherId":8415264,"projectId":9700667,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the snacks and toiletries you generously provided for my 9th grade students.

This allows for immediate feedback and encourages students to take risks in a low-pressure way.\r\n\r\nFlashcards are now used for partner practice, quick games, and activities that help students strengthen vocabulary and recall.

I have created a hygiene station in my office that has these supplies out with a sign up that encourages students to take what they need, no questions asked.
