Many of our students arrive at school hungry, and having access to nutritious snacks ensures they are not trying to learn on an empty stomach. When students are able to eat something healthy, they are better prepared to engage in their schoolwork and start the day feeling supported and cared for.\r\n\r\nWe have seen a noticeable improvement in students' ability to focus and stay attentive for longer periods of time after having a snack. Instead of being distracted by hunger, students are able to participate more actively in lessons, complete assignments, and make the most of their time in class. This small but essential support has helped create a more positive and productive learning environment.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, students are always incredibly grateful for the snacks. They often express their appreciation and show a renewed sense of motivation once their basic needs are met. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, these healthy snacks are doing more than filling stomachs—they are helping students feel valued, supported, and ready to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1768498982072,"projectUrl":"project/snack-attack/9833337/","projectTitle":"Snack Attack","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Martinho","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp192507_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y484&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730926361302","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/smartinho"},{"teacherId":192507,"projectId":9708297,"letterContent":"These new resources were used to help students feel more comfortable at our annual freshmen/sophomore game day, and the impact they had on the event was truly remarkable. This year's game day turned out to be the best turnout we have ever had, with more students participating enthusiastically and staying longer to engage in the different activities. The energy and excitement were clear from the moment students began arriving. Having access to a wider variety of games created an inviting environment where every student could find something that suited their interests, which in turn helped even the more reserved students feel at ease and willing to join in.\r\n\r\nThroughout the day, students not only played the traditional favorites, but they also discovered new games that many had never tried before. Some students gravitated toward competitive games that required strategy and teamwork, while others enjoyed casual activities that encouraged laughter and fun without pressure. Watching students encourage one another, explain rules, and cheer on their peers showed how the games became more than just entertainment—they were tools for connection. For many, learning how to play a new game meant stepping out of their comfort zone, and doing so alongside classmates made the experience feel safe, inclusive, and rewarding.\r\n\r\nOne of the most significant outcomes of this year's event was the way it brought students together who may not have otherwise interacted. Game day provided the perfect setting for freshmen and sophomores to mingle outside of the classroom environment. Friend groups blended as students paired up for team challenges or partnered with someone new to learn a game. It was inspiring to see shy students smiling and engaging with others, building confidence as they realized they were part of a supportive and welcoming group.\r\n\r\nOn top of that, students were able to meet new friends today, and those friendships are likely to extend far beyond the event itself. High school can often feel overwhelming, especially for freshmen who are adjusting to a brand-new environment and trying to find their place. This event gave them a chance to form connections in a low-stress, fun setting where everyone was included. For sophomores, it provided an opportunity to be leaders and role models, showing the younger students how to participate, get involved, and enjoy the traditions of the school. These interactions are so important because they strengthen our school community, bridging gaps between students of different backgrounds, interests, and social circles.\r\n\r\nThese new connections will carry over into classrooms, hallways, and extracurricular activities. When students recognize familiar faces and feel they have a friend to sit with or talk to, it makes their school experience more positive and supportive. The sense of belonging they developed at game day will help them feel more motivated and comfortable engaging in other school events, clubs, and academic opportunities. For many students, this event may have been the first time they felt truly connected to their peers, and that feeling of inclusion is invaluable.\r\n\r\nOverall, the success of this year's freshmen/sophomore game day demonstrates the importance of providing resources that promote fun, teamwork, and social interaction. These games were not just activities to pass the time—they were bridges that helped students learn, grow, and connect with one another. By investing in opportunities like this, we are investing in the future of our students, giving them tools to build confidence, foster friendships, and create lasting memories. Without a doubt, this year's event has set the bar high for the years to come, and we look forward to continuing the tradition of creating welcoming and meaningful experiences for every student who joins our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1758636472281,"projectUrl":"project/learning-laughing-and-leveling-up/9708297/","projectTitle":"Learning, Laughing, and Leveling Up","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Martinho","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp192507_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y484&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730926361302","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/smartinho"},{"teacherId":192507,"projectId":9564226,"letterContent":"We just had our second annual senior breakfast day! This would not have happened without your donations. We gathered outside to eat muffins and drink juice, along with play games. I am happy to report that we had double the turn out from last year. Students were enjoying the food provided while meeting new classmates and visiting with those they already knew.\r\n\r\nThese seniors were able to relax and enjoy each other's company without the stress of academics. Many of them walked away with a new friend. So, thank you again for your generosity.

Since our school is online, students often come in to work quietly at their own pace, and having access to these snacks has made a noticeable difference. Many will grab a quick snack and water before settling in, which helps them maintain concentration for longer stretches and keeps their energy steady throughout their session. It's a simple addition, but it supports their ability to stay on task and make the most of their time on campus.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the snacks and water available, they were pleasantly surprised. Several immediately commented on how nice it was to have something to eat while working, and a few mentioned that it made the learning space feel more comfortable and welcoming. The variety—especially the trail mix and fruit snacks—was a big hit, and students appreciated being able to choose what worked best for them. This small gesture has shown them that their well-being is valued, and it has helped create a positive, focused atmosphere for independent learning.","fullyFundedDate":1746787047697,"projectUrl":"project/snack-attack/9277724/","projectTitle":"Snack Attack","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Martinho","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp192507_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y484&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730926361302","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/smartinho"},{"teacherId":192507,"projectId":9179422,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for giving to this project.
