With these resources, students will gain access healthy snacks to promote healthy decision-making, both academically and personally. By integrating hands-on activities, interactive lessons, and real-world connections, students will better understand how the choices they make—whether related to nutrition, effort, or teamwork—can directly affect their success. This support allows us to create a classroom environment where learning is active, meaningful, and connected to everyday life.\r\n\r\nIn addition, this project will help build students' confidence and independence. When students are equipped with the right tools and opportunities, they are more likely to take ownership of their learning and develop positive habits that last beyond the classroom. The materials funded through this donation will encourage collaboration, critical thinking, and goal setting, helping students see themselves as capable learners who can make smart choices. These experiences are especially important in 4th grade, as students are beginning to develop stronger academic identities and personal responsibility.\r\n\r\nFinally, the impact of this donation will extend beyond a single lesson or unit—it will shape the overall classroom culture. Students will be empowered to make thoughtful decisions, support one another, and stay motivated throughout the year. By \"fueling\" their minds and bodies with the right tools and knowledge, this project will help create a positive, supportive learning environment where every student has the opportunity to thrive. Your generosity will not only provide materials, but also inspire lasting growth and success in each child.","fullyFundedDate":1775237667481,"projectUrl":"project/fourth-grade-fuel-powering-great-choice/10163642/","projectTitle":"Fourth Grade Fuel: Powering Great Choices","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Harbison","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10467545"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_14682","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":523,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":69,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":23,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":14682,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Valley Junior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Valley Junior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/walker-county-school-district/valley-junior-high-school/14682"}
