It truly means so much to my students and me.\r\n\r\nYour generosity allows my students to have access to snacks throughout the school day whenever they need a little extra fuel. For many students, having a snack available can make a big difference in their ability to stay focused, energized, and engaged in the classroom. When students are hungry, it can be difficult for them to concentrate, participate, and fully enjoy their learning experiences. Having snacks readily available gives them one less thing to worry about and allows them to focus their energy on learning, growing, and being successful at school.\r\n\r\nI am incredibly grateful to be able to provide my students with this additional support. Something as simple as having a snack available when they need one can help a student feel comfortable, cared for, and ready to take on the rest of their day. It also teaches them an important lesson about kindness and community—there are people who believe in them and want to see them succeed.\r\n\r\nYour donation will have an impact that extends far beyond the snacks themselves. It helps create a positive and welcoming classroom where students know their needs matter. It reminds them that their well-being is important and that they have people cheering them on. These moments of support can leave a lasting impression and help students feel more confident and connected at school.\r\n\r\nI am so thankful for your willingness to support my classroom and my students. Your generosity allows me to meet a need that might otherwise go unnoticed and helps ensure that my students have the resources they need to make the most of their school day.","fullyFundedDate":1789575938622,"projectUrl":"project/snack-station-supporting-student-wellne/10625732/","projectTitle":"Snack Station: Supporting Student Wellness","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Alejandra","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10661369"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4916","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1575,"numTeachers":82,"percentFrplEligible":43,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":75,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":79.2,"schoolId":4916,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Abraham Lincoln High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Abraham Lincoln High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/san-jose-unified-school-district/abraham-lincoln-high-school/4916"}
