Your generous donations have helped my awesome students out by allowing them to have access to snacks whenever they need something to eat or they need a small reward (Skittles and M&M's) whenever they are working on a frustrating assignment or test. Your very thoughtful contribution is helping to ensure that my students have the energy and focus they need to be attentive and succeed throughout their school day.\r\n\r\nYour thoughful contributions have had a direct and meaningful impact on my students. These students will never meet you, but they were excited and grateful to receive the donations of snacks, rewards, and juice. Your donations have already been used for snacktime, at lunch when a student did not have quite enough to eat or did not like the lunch that was being served. We all are truly appreciative of your support in making their educational journey brighter and more fulfilling. \r\n\r\nIn a time when people seem to be focusing more and more on their own wants and needs, it is a true blessing to witness others reaching out to help a special education teacher and her students. Thank you again for generosity and support.","fullyFundedDate":1739240313315,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-snacks-fewer-hangry-students/9096608/","projectTitle":"Classroom Snacks, Fewer Hangry Students!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bryson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9494501_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1738622107926","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-bryson-sarah"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_18821","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":333,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":44,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":87,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"17.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":91.3,"schoolId":18821,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about William W Borden Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"William W Borden Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/borden-henryville-school-corporation/william-w-borden-elementary-school/18821"}
