Because of you, my students will have access to daily snacks that help them stay focused, energized, and ready to learn. In an urban classroom like mine, something as simple as a snack can make a world of difference — it helps students feel cared for, supported, and prepared to do their best.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the snacks and supplies, their faces lit up with pure excitement. Many of them immediately said \"Thank you!\" without me even prompting — they truly felt seen and supported. For some of my students, having access to snacks during the day helps them stay focused and regulate their emotions, so this wasn't just a treat... it was a meaningful boost to their learning environment.\r\nThey were eager to help organize everything into our new snack cabinet, and several students even asked if they could write handwritten thank-you notes on the spot. Their joy was genuine, and it filled the room with so much positive energy.'\r\n\r\nRight now, my 6th graders are working through our Eureka Math Module decimal addition and subtraction and multiplication and the materials you provided help fuel their focus and stamina. With this support, they're able to jump into small-group work, hands-on problem solving, and real-world math tasks without the distraction of hunger.\r\n\r\nYour contribution directly helps my students stay energized, confident, and ready to learn. Ripple's kindness has made a difference that stretches far beyond the snacks — it has helped create a safe, warm, and uplifting learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1758913820391,"projectUrl":"project/brain-snacks-math-tracks-a-csi-classr/9431237/","projectTitle":"Brain Snacks & Math Tracks: A CSI Classroom Mission","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stevenson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9290315_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695343766618","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9290315"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_96686","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":379,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":97,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":59.3,"schoolId":96686,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Learn Charter School - Excel on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Learn Charter School - Excel","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/chicago-public-school-district-299/learn-charter-school-excel/96686"}
