Many of the children I serve come to school hungry or worry about whether they will have enough food at home. Your donation has helped meet a basic need, allowing students to focus on learning, building relationships, and participating positively in school.\r\nWhen the snacks arrived, the students were excited and grateful. For some, it was comforting to know that they could count on having something to eat when they felt hungry. I have seen firsthand how these resources have helped reduce stress and improve behavior, especially for students who struggle to concentrate when their basic needs are not met. Having nutritious snacks available has created opportunities for meaningful conversations and support while ensuring students feel cared for and valued.\r\nBecause of your kindness, we can continue providing snack bags to students who need them most and remove a barrier that can impact their success at school. Your support is making a real difference in the lives of children and their families. Thank you for investing in our students' well-being and helping create a school environment where every child feels supported, nourished, and ready to learn.\r\nWith sincere gratitude,\r\nElizabeth Cardozo\r\nSchool Counselor","fullyFundedDate":1785594467002,"projectUrl":"project/a-counselors-mission-to-fight-weekend-h/10220739/","projectTitle":"A Counselor’s Mission to Fight Weekend Hunger","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cardozo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10485211"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_17336","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":392,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":90,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"9.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.6,"schoolId":17336,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about South Houston Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"South Houston Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/pasadena-independent-school-district/south-houston-elementary-school/17336"}
