We decided to take a few different types of snacks and keep a variety available for students to choose from. Interestingly, students almost always choose something \"hearty\" over something \"sweet\". \r\n\r\nYour generous donation has enabled students to get the nutrition they need to get through a rigorous testing week, as well as save me money out of pocket that I would have normally spent on snacks. We truly appreciate your donation to our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1743437332937,"projectUrl":"project/healthy-snacks-healthy-kids/9219405/","projectTitle":"Healthy Snacks - Healthy Kids","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Baker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3813735_orig.png?crop=1158,1158,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727794454718","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3813735"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_28699","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":597,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":59,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":26,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":80.4,"schoolId":28699,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Northlawn Junior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Northlawn Junior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/streator-elementary-school-district-44/northlawn-junior-high-school/28699"}
