Your contribution has made a profound impact on their ability to learn and thrive.\r\n\r\nAs a Title I school, many of our students come from families experiencing financial challenges, which often means that access to nutritious snacks is limited. Thanks to your generosity, we are now able to provide nourishing snacks that help our students maintain their energy, focus, and engagement throughout the school day. By alleviating hunger, these snacks play a crucial role in helping our students stay on task, absorb information, and participate more fully in classroom activities.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your support extends far beyond academic performance. Healthy snacks also contribute to the emotional well-being of our students, reducing the stress and anxiety caused by food insecurity. Your kindness helps create a more positive, supportive learning environment, one where our students feel cared for and valued.\r\n\r\nOur students are incredibly resilient, creative, and determined, and your support is an investment in their future. They come to school every day eager to learn and overcome the challenges they face. With your help, we are ensuring that their nutritional needs are met, allowing them to focus on achieving their full potential.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of our entire school community, thank you once again for your generous support. You are making a tangible difference in the lives of our students, empowering them to succeed academically and fostering healthy habits that will benefit them beyond the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1729739424889,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-brains-and-hearts-snack-support/8528322/","projectTitle":"Fueling Brains and Hearts: Snack Support for CGMS Students","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Delawna Davis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp6217915_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1548422112184","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/drdavis"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_68486","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":685,"numTeachers":56,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":91,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":51.6,"schoolId":68486,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cedar Grove Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cedar Grove Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/dekalb-county-school-district/cedar-grove-middle-school/68486"}
