A perfect example happened just recently: a student came into class looking defeated and admitted they didn't have money for lunch that day. They were trying to push through the lesson, but the hunger was making it impossible for them to concentrate on the material. Because of your donation, I was able to immediately hand them a nutritious snack. Within minutes, the fog cleared, and they were back on track, engaged and learning. That small moment saved their entire school day.\r\n\r\nTo be honest, the reaction was almost comical! When I first opened the fully stocked snack drawer to reveal the options, I was met with a room full of wide eyes and mouths agape. It is rare to see high schoolers drop their guard like that, but the sheer abundance of snacks just for them was a genuine shock. That moment of surprise quickly turned into relief; knowing that strangers cared enough to fill that drawer meant the world to them.\r\n\r\nNow that we have bridged the hunger gap, we can focus entirely on our curriculum without the distraction of empty stomachs. We are currently diving into our next unit, and because their basic needs are met, my students have the mental stamina to tackle these high-level concepts. Thank you for fueling their bodies so I can help fuel their minds!","fullyFundedDate":1762738574030,"projectUrl":"project/closing-the-hunger-gap-immediate-snack/9886137/","projectTitle":"Closing the Hunger Gap: Immediate Snack Relief for High Schoolers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bruno","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9283328_orig.jpg?crop=869,869,x332,y236&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748095148100","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/bruno4science"},{"teacherId":9283328,"projectId":9377703,"letterContent":"We are thrilled to update you on the profound success of the \"Grow Our Future: Hydroponics for APES & Biology Sustainable Solutions\" project, made possible by your generous contribution. The Gardyn system is not just a piece of equipment; it has instantly become the beating heart of our Biology and AP Environmental Science (APES) classrooms, transforming abstract textbook concepts into tangible, living lessons. Students are no longer passively reading about science—they are actively doing it. They are meticulously monitoring nutrient solutions, measuring growth rates, and troubleshooting their own experiments, giving them firsthand knowledge of vital processes like photosynthesis and cellular respiration that power life on Earth. Your support is directly cultivating critical thinking and empowering our students to become hands-on scientists.\r\n\r\nThe system's impact extends far beyond basic biological concepts, fostering a deep appreciation for sustainable solutions. For our APES students, the Gardyn unit serves as a powerful case study in modern agriculture, allowing them to compare its minimal water usage and land footprint with traditional farming. This practical experience is essential for understanding global challenges like food security and climate resilience. Furthermore, the system has become the dedicated project of our Environmental Club. These students are growing a variety of edible plants and have taken ownership of its maintenance, becoming stewards of a sustainable food source and demonstrating the real-world application of their learning to the broader school community.\r\n\r\nIn short, the Gardyn system has done exactly what we hoped: it has provided our students with a truly future-focused education. Thank you again for investing in this innovative tool and for helping us grow not just plants, but a generation of environmentally conscious and scientifically literate thinkers. We are excited to continue sharing updates on their harvests and discoveries throughout the year.\r\n\r\nSincerely,","fullyFundedDate":1757540714609,"projectUrl":"project/grow-our-future-hydroponics-for-apes-/9377703/","projectTitle":"Grow Our Future: Hydroponics for APES & Biology Sustainable Solutions","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bruno","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9283328_orig.jpg?crop=869,869,x332,y236&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748095148100","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/bruno4science"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_46757","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2596,"numTeachers":121,"percentFrplEligible":55,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":32,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":56,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"21.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.6,"schoolId":46757,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about St Cloud High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"St Cloud High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/the-school-district-of-osceola-county/st-cloud-high-school/46757"}
