The materials you helped provide have made such a difference — not only in how we decorate and organize our space, but in how our students feel when they walk into the room each day. One of the most special outcomes of your donations was being able to offer daily snacks for a couple of months. For many of our kindergartners, this was a huge deal. Snack time became something they could count on, something that made them feel safe and cared for — and for some, it was the only extra food they received during the day.\r\n\r\nThe excitement on their faces when they realized there would be snacks every day was unforgettable. One little one said, \"We're lucky today!\" — and truly, that's what you've given them: the feeling of being lucky, seen, and supported. It may seem small, but to a five-year-old, knowing they'll have a little snack at school means everything.","fullyFundedDate":1741061346680,"projectUrl":"project/snack-time-smiles/8873206/","projectTitle":"Snack Time Smiles","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bryant","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9319128_orig.jpg?crop=1240,1240,x0,y400&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1696564038608","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9319128"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_18130","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":399,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":81,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.4,"schoolId":18130,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Young Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Young Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/houston-independent-school-district/young-elementary-school/18130"}
