Because of your kindness, my students now have access to healthy snacks and reusable water bottles, and the impact has already been incredible.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, having a snack during the day helps them stay focused, energized, and ready to learn. Something as simple as a bottle of water or a nutritious snack has made such a big difference in their comfort and ability to participate fully in class activities. I've seen brighter smiles, better concentration, and an overall boost in positivity throughout our classroom.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has not only met an important need but also shown my students that there are people in the world who care about their well-being and success. They were so excited when the supplies arrived, and we talk often about how thankful we are for our special donor who helped make this possible.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart—and on behalf of my wonderful kindergarten class—thank you for investing in our students and helping create a supportive, nurturing learning environment. Your kindness truly means more than words can express.","fullyFundedDate":1769192053011,"projectUrl":"project/afternoon-snacks-for-hungry-kindergartne/9846499/","projectTitle":"Afternoon Snacks for Hungry Kindergartners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sosa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10322666_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1761860085089","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10322666"},{"teacherId":3070488,"projectId":9841873,"letterContent":"Thank you for your continued kindness and generosity. Your generous donation helped over 80 students receive a free and healthy snack every day . Allowing our students to be the best version of themselves. \r\n\r\nTo see a smile on the students face because they have a snack today instead of being the student that doesn't have a snack every day. Something so small can completely change a child's day and allow them confidence in the classroom. It is also great to see a child of a healthy snack and not a bag of Takis.\r\n\r\nThank again for your support and continued generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1763498195791,"projectUrl":"project/nutritional-snacks/9841873/","projectTitle":"Nutritional Snacks!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kiefer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3070488"},{"teacherId":7069518,"projectId":9316980,"letterContent":"Thank you for all your help in getting this project funded.

The rain jackets are a blessing since our students walk to and from school. The school uniforms are great too because we actually keep the hoodies in the classroom for when it is cold. The snacks were the best. The students enjoy the break in the day and stay focused longer. It is nice to see that every student can have a snack not just the students who can afford one! The cereal was such a great hit for the students that get to school late. Instead of skipping a meal they can have it in the classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1746712109151,"projectUrl":"project/full-bellys-warm-and-cozy-learners-part/9317115/","projectTitle":"Full Bellys, Warm and Cozy Learners Part 2!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Maisto","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4180823_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1578113738460","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4180823"},{"teacherId":4180823,"projectId":9144489,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the snacks. The students enjoyed them. It is nice seeing everyone getting a snack not just the students who can afford the snacks. It is heartbreaking watching some students eating while others don't eat. They ask each other for a snack. This has been a lifesaver. We had enough snacks and cereal to send home in goodie bags for the summer break. The students are very grateful. The gloves will come in handy when it starts to get cold again in the Fall and all our students walk. I was actually able to still give them out in April because we still had cold mornings.","fullyFundedDate":1742823855017,"projectUrl":"project/full-bellies-warm-and-cozy-learners/9144489/","projectTitle":"Full Bellies, Warm and Cozy Learners!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Maisto","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4180823_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1578113738460","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4180823"},{"teacherId":5256340,"projectId":8677777,"letterContent":"Our care cart has been available to all of our students grades K-5 for several weeks. Students and Teachers are finding this resource to be very helpful throughout the day to satisfy their needs in a private yet quick manner. \r\n Snacks have been great for late students who miss breakfast, those who don't care for the breakfast that had been served or those just a little extra hungry. Hygiene products have been great as the weather is warmer and student activity outside has increased. Girls are thankful for famine products that are only has steps away from the restroom. \r\n Teachers are even finding it helpful when their own issue arise that they were not prepared for or they have run out of products they use daily. Many staff members have also begun donating items that they realize students ask for that were not initially ordered.\r\n I feel the cart will continue to expand and provide additional items our students need to be successful during their school day and even at home.

Many of our students do not eat breakfast and have to wait until 1:05 in the afternoon to have a meal.
