Your support means the world to us, and I can't emphasize enough how much of a positive impact it has had on our classroom.\r\n\r\nOne of the most important aspects of your contribution is the provision of snacks for our young learners. Having a snack during the day may seem like a small thing, but for these children, it's monumental. It fuels their bodies and minds, allowing them to concentrate and participate fully in their lessons. It's like a little burst of energy that keeps their spirits high.\r\n\r\nHowever, what makes your generosity even more significant is that we are in a low-income school. For some of my students, this snack might be the only reliable source of sustenance they can count on during the day. It's heartbreaking to think that some of them might not have enough food at home, making this daily snack a lifeline for them. Your support ensures that no child goes hungry in our classroom, and it eases the worries of parents struggling to make ends meet.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for choosing to fund our project. Your kindness and generosity have not only improved our students' learning experience but have also brought joy and relief to families facing challenges. You've made a profound difference in the lives of these young learners, and for that, we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1693689709576,"projectUrl":"project/creating-memories-one-day-at-a-time/7511592/","projectTitle":"Creating Memories One Day at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fykstra","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9053996_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1709604189224","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/helpmissgroff"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_52249","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":593,"numTeachers":48,"percentFrplEligible":70,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":47,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":34,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":61.3,"schoolId":52249,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Leeds Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Leeds Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/iowa/sioux-city-community-school-district/leeds-elementary-school/52249"}
