Field trips are a new way for us to build school culture and provide live social interaction between students. Many of our students do not know their classmates when they attend their first trip. We have observed students making their first connections with others through their snacks! \r\nThe snacks are rewards for taking the steps to come to a new place with new people. This can be very challenging for students with social anxiety. They see another student choosing the same snack and a connections is made. By the end of the trip, students have made new friends, and shared experiences with their classmates. Some have even said the best part of the trip was getting to know their teacher and making new friends. \r\nThank you to the donors who made this possible. We truly appreciate your generosity and kindness. Something as simple as this snack project is helping to improve student achievement one field trip at a time.","fullyFundedDate":1735928661159,"projectUrl":"project/art-venture-field-trip-snacks/8999788/","projectTitle":"Art Venture Field Trip Snacks","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Anaya","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1286233_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x588,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1566711902423","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1286233"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_98806","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1180,"numTeachers":66,"percentFrplEligible":79,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":72,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"17.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.5,"schoolId":98806,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about City of Angels Alternative School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"City of Angels Alternative School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/city-of-angels-school/98806"}
