What began as a simple request for nutritious snacks has become something far more meaningful—a foundation of care that allows these resilient young people to focus on learning rather than hunger. I am deeply grateful for the profound impact your kindness has created in our classroom.\r\n\r\nYour support makes a tangible difference in countless daily moments. Just last week, I watched one of my students grab a granola bar before our college application discussion. Previously, she would struggle to concentrate after skipping breakfast, often putting her head down mid-period. Now, with proper nutrition fueling her focus, she actively participated for the entire period, asking thoughtful questions about financial aid and sharing her dreams of becoming the first in her family to attend university. Similarly, another one of my students no longer has to choose between staying for tutoring or going home for dinner. The trail mix and crackers you provided give him the sustained energy to excel in academics.\r\n\r\nYour generosity extends far beyond nutrition—it has removed barriers and created an environment where learning truly flourishes. These snacks have become symbols of care, reminding my students daily that people believe in their potential. Thank you for seeing the promise in these amazing young people and giving them the fuel they need to reach their dreams. Your impact will echo in every success they achieve.","fullyFundedDate":1742823838626,"projectUrl":"project/snack-attack-to-fight-low-energy/9021450/","projectTitle":"Snack Attack to Fight Low Energy!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bocanegra","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8151939"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_104555","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":644,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":98,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"25.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.5,"schoolId":104555,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Marquez High School - Libra Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Marquez High School - Libra Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/marquez-high-school-libra-acad/104555"}
