Your support has made an immediate and meaningful difference in our classroom. Many of my students come from low-income families, and having consistent access to nutritious food during the school day is not something they can always count on. You have helped fill that gap in such a powerful way.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been incredible to witness. My students look forward to coming to school each day, knowing they will have a healthy snack to fuel their growing bodies and busy brains. I have noticed improved focus, better stamina during learning time, and a greater sense of comfort and security in our classroom. When students are nourished, they are more confident, engaged, and ready to learn—and that is exactly what you have made possible.\r\n\r\nPlease know how deeply appreciated your generosity is. You have not only provided healthy snacks, but you have also shown my students that people care about their well-being and success. Your kindness is helping our \"Second Grade Stars\" shine even brighter each day. Thank you for investing in their health, happiness, and future.","fullyFundedDate":1764649124539,"projectUrl":"project/smart-snacks-for-second-grade-stars/9550524/","projectTitle":"Smart Snacks for Second Grade Stars!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rupert","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10160613"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_39579","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":209,"numTeachers":9,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":53,"percentIndigenous":9,"percentLatinx":22,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"23.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":69.3,"schoolId":39579,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cypress Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cypress Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/redding-school-district/cypress-elementary-school/39579"}
