Your support has already made a real difference for our students. We now have snacks available for students who may have missed breakfast, are having a long day, or simply need something to help them refocus and keep going.\r\n\r\nOne of the best parts has been seeing how excited the students were when they realized the snacks were actually for them. Their faces lit up, and several students immediately started asking what was available. It was a simple moment, but it reminded me just how meaningful something as small as a snack can be.\r\n\r\nOur pantry gives students one less thing to worry about during the school day. Instead of sitting in class distracted by hunger, they can grab something to eat, recharge, and get back to learning. It also gives us another opportunity to show our students that we care about them beyond academics.\r\n\r\nWe will continue using these snacks throughout the school year to support students whenever the need arises. Thank you for helping us create a space where our students feel cared for, supported, and ready to learn. We truly appreciate you being a part of our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1787088049607,"projectUrl":"project/help-feed-young-minds-support-our-class/10450488/","projectTitle":"Help Feed Young Minds: Support Our Classroom Pantry Project","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Lewis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9103277_orig.png?crop=1080,1080,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749781030526","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9103277"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_46245","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":301,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":51,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":39,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"4 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":80.0,"schoolId":46245,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about West Gadsden Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"West Gadsden Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/gadsden-county-school-district/west-gadsden-high-school/46245"}
