Students now swing by early in the morning before workouts or right after 7th period to grab the exact fuel they need. Just last week, one of my varsity athletes came into afternoon study hall completely drained after a demanding block-period exam, with a track meet scheduled two hours later. In the past, he would have struggled to focus on his remaining work and dragged himself through the meet. Instead, he grabbed a protein bar and dried fruit from the pantry, sat down refreshed, and finished his prep before going out to set a personal best. That moment captured exactly why this project matters: proper nutrition bridges the gap between potential and performance.\r\n\r\nWith their physical needs reliably met, my students are turning their full energy toward the mid-semester crunch. Academically, they are diving into major group research projects and preparing for quarter exams. Athletically, they are entering the high-stakes portion of their competition season. Having guaranteed, healthy fuel in our classroom ensures our student-athletes never have to choose between academic excellence and athletic drive. They are stepping up to every challenge with energy, focus, and confidence, all thanks to your incredible generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1766154946900,"projectUrl":"project/fuel-for-learning-snacks-for-every-stud/9574481/","projectTitle":"Fuel for Learning: Snacks for Every Student","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Knudsen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9742660_orig.jpg?crop=1534,1534,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726061830326","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9742660"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_100821","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1887,"numTeachers":100,"percentFrplEligible":65,"percentAsian":10,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":32,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":29,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"18.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.0,"schoolId":100821,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lanier High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lanier High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/gwinnett-county-public-schools/lanier-high-school/100821"}
