It was so gracious of you to help provide those much needed snacks for my students.\r\n\r\nThe smiles on their faces and the gratitude that was shown because of your generosity was absolutely priceless. Existing data suggests that children who eat a more balanced diet and healthy snacks are healthier and often better learners. Good nutrition helps children have fewer absences and behave better in school, resulting in fewer disruptions in the classroom. My students are attentive and eager to learn thanks to your contribution for the snacks. \r\n\r\nWith 75% of educators working with students who regularly come to school hungry, childhood hunger is easily one of the most pressing issues in schools today. Your willingness to give has helped curb this issue within my classroom. You are truly appreciated.","fullyFundedDate":1739296648845,"projectUrl":"project/fuel-the-body-the-mind/9094007/","projectTitle":"Fuel the Body & the Mind","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jones-Crockett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5732192_orig.jpg?crop=717,717,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733098222996","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/r-jonescrockett"},{"teacherId":5732192,"projectId":8980544,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your kind generosity.
