Your kindness has had an immediate impact on our classroom community. Many of my students come to school hungry or need an extra snack to help them get through the day, and because of your support, they now have access to nutritious options that help them stay focused and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThe students were so excited when they saw the variety of snacks that had arrived just for them. They couldn't wait to see what was available, and many expressed how grateful they were to have something healthy to eat when they needed it. Having these snacks readily available has made a noticeable difference during our school day. Instead of being distracted by hunger, students are better able to participate in lessons, stay engaged during small-group instruction, and put forth their best effort. One student shared that having a snack before reading group helped them \"think better,\" which was a wonderful reminder of how important meeting students' basic needs is for learning.\r\n\r\nAs the school year continues, these healthy snacks will remain an important part of our classroom routine. They will help ensure that students have the energy they need to tackle challenging academic tasks, practice new skills, and build confidence throughout the day. Your generosity has done so much more than provide food—it has shown my students that there are caring people who believe in them and want them to succeed. Thank you for making a lasting difference in our classroom. We are truly grateful for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1772550253294,"projectUrl":"project/healthy-snacks-for-hungry-learners/10119967/","projectTitle":"Healthy Snacks for Hungry Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rivas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9308839"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_100436","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":598,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":85,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":35,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":46,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"3 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"14.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":41.9,"schoolId":100436,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Zephyr Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Zephyr Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/whitehall-coplay-sch-district/zephyr-elementary-school/100436"}
