These snacks have become a meaningful part of our day, helping students stay full and focused between breakfast and lunch, as well as during the long stretch between lunch and going home. Having snacks readily available allows students to concentrate on learning instead of worrying about hunger, which has made a noticeable difference in our classroom.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the snacks, they were genuinely excited and grateful. Several students immediately asked when they could have one and shared how hungry they often feel later in the day. Knowing they can rely on a snack has brought them comfort and helped create a more positive, supportive classroom environment. I've already seen improvements in focus, energy, and overall engagement during lessons.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, students are better prepared to tackle challenging work and stay engaged through the end of the school day. As we continue with our lessons and projects, having their basic needs met allows them to fully participate, collaborate with classmates, and build confidence in their learning. Thank you for making such a meaningful difference for our students—we truly appreciate your support.","fullyFundedDate":1763996397808,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-for-learning/9904955/","projectTitle":"Snacks for Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Scotti","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9169413_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1704759482633","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9169413"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_54221","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":200,"numTeachers":17,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":84,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"11.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":77.8,"schoolId":54221,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Kirby Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Kirby Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arkansas/kirby-school-district-32/kirby-elementary-school/54221"}
