When the hoodies arrived, my students couldn't believe they got to choose and keep their own. For many of them it was the warmest thing they owned that winter, and they wore them almost every day: in class, at recess, and on the walk home. Being warm made it easier to come to school and focus on learning instead of the cold. Your gift told every student \"someone cares about you\" without anyone having to say it out loud. Thank you for seeing what my students needed and making it happen.","fullyFundedDate":1543766084324,"projectUrl":"project/warm-hoodies-for-winter/3802442/","projectTitle":"Warm Hoodies for Winter","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Graham","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3424160_orig.jpg?crop=528,528,x14,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1791588887926","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/meghann-graham"},{"teacherId":3424160,"projectId":3795710,"letterContent":"Because of you, every student in my class had a warm hoodie when the cold weather hit. When the box was opened, the room filled with excitement as students found their sizes and pulled them on right away. The hoodies also took away a quiet worry: no one had to be the kid without a warm layer. Wearing the same hoodies, my students felt like a team, and they felt cared for. They kept wearing them all winter, and they reminded us that small things can make school feel like a place where you belong. Thank you for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1543362404693,"projectUrl":"project/warm-hoodies-for-winter/3795710/","projectTitle":"Warm Hoodies for Winter!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Graham","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3424160_orig.jpg?crop=528,528,x14,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1791588887926","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/meghann-graham"},{"teacherId":3424160,"projectId":3780324,"letterContent":"Thank you for completing our hoodie project. The hoodies arrived just as the cold weather set in, and the difference was immediate: students came in warmer, calmer, and ready to work. Students who had been distracted by the cold could settle in and focus. Many wore their hoodies every day for the rest of the winter. Small things like this make a big difference in whether a student feels ready to learn, and your support helped my students feel cared for. Thank you for believing in my classroom and my students.","fullyFundedDate":1542872571489,"projectUrl":"project/warm-hoodies-for-winter/3780324/","projectTitle":"Warm Hoodies for Winter!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Graham","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3424160_orig.jpg?crop=528,528,x14,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1791588887926","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/meghann-graham"},{"teacherId":8380593,"projectId":8665006,"letterContent":"The Snack Attack project has had a tremendous impact on our students. After seeing the positive influence these snacks had on student well-being, attendance, and behavior, I was inspired to create a school food pantry to further support their needs.\r\n\r\nThe snacks were used daily to help students stay focused, regulated, and ready to learn. Many of our students face food insecurity, and having access to snacks throughout the school day has made a noticeable difference. One particularly meaningful change has been a reduction in the number of times students leave campus or nearby areas to get food, which previously sometimes led to poor choices, including shoplifting.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the snacks, they were excited and grateful. Many expressed appreciation for having something available when they were hungry, and staff quickly noticed improvements in students' ability to engage in class and remain in school throughout the day.\r\n\r\nAs a result of this project, we have also seen improvements in attendance and students staying for the entire school day or most of the day. Knowing that basic needs are being met helps students feel supported and connected to school.\r\n\r\nOur next step is expanding the food pantry so that students and families can access additional food resources when needed. We will continue using DonorsChoose to support student wellness, remove barriers to learning, and create an environment where students can focus on their education and future success.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping make this possible. Your generosity has made a lasting difference in the lives of our students and school community.","fullyFundedDate":1726580364020,"projectUrl":"project/snack-attack/8665006/","projectTitle":"Snack Attack!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Desroses","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8380593"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_106263","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":15,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":71,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":27,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":41,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":63.4,"schoolId":106263,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Melvin H.
