Your kindness made a greater difference than you may ever know. In a classroom full of young learners, even the smallest act of care can change the entire day. Your support did exactly that.\r\nMany of my students come to school excited to learn, but not all of them arrive with the nutrition they need to stay focused. Some begin the morning hungry. Others become tired or distracted before lunchtime. When a child is hungry, learning becomes harder. Their minds wander, their energy fades, and they struggle to absorb new skills. But because of your donations, something beautiful happened.\r\nWith healthy snacks available each day, I watched my students grow stronger—both academically and emotionally. Children who used to lose focus during reading time became more alert. Those who struggled to finish their work began completing their assignments with confidence. I saw fewer behavior challenges and more moments of excitement, curiosity, and joy. Their growth was not only seen in test scores, but also in the light returning to their eyes.\r\nYour kindness created a classroom where every student felt cared for. They knew someone out there believed in them enough to make sure they had what they needed to thrive. That feeling matters. It builds trust. It builds security. It builds hope.\r\nOne student in particular stands out. He used to put his head down before our morning literacy block. When I asked him if he was tired, he would nod but say very little. After snacks became available, he began to sit up straighter. He started raising his hand to read aloud—something he had never done before. Now, he smiles when he walks in the room. He feels ready for the day. That change came because someone cared enough to give.\r\nYour generosity did not just feed children; it fueled learning. It supported their growth. It helped shape better habits, stronger attention spans, and improved academic performance. Most importantly, it showed my students that they matter—that their education matters—and that their community is cheering for them.\r\nThank you for believing in the future. Thank you for believing in my students. Your donations made our classroom a healthier, happier, and more successful place, and I am forever grateful.\r\nWith heartfelt appreciation,\r\nSemona Campbell Kindergarten Teacher","fullyFundedDate":1758848187890,"projectUrl":"project/mid-morning-pick-me-up/9590434/","projectTitle":"Mid Morning Pick Me Up","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Campbell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2700199_orig.jpg?crop=810,810,x0,y135&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757175984887","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2700199"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_42342","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":543,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":88,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":42.9,"schoolId":42342,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cedar Grove Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cedar Grove Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/dekalb-county-school-district/cedar-grove-elementary-school/42342"}
