Your generosity has brought more than just snacks into our classroom—you've brought comfort, joy, and a sense of security to our incredible students.\r\n\r\nA Moment to Remember:\r\nWhen our students first saw the snacks, their eyes lit up with excitement. Some of them clapped their hands, while others eagerly pointed and signed \"more\" or \"thank you.\" One of our little learners, who often struggles with communication, smiled and said, \"Yay!\"—a simple but powerful word that showed just how much this meant to them.\r\n\r\nFor many of our students, having access to their favorite snacks isn't just about food—it's about feeling safe, supported, and ready to learn. In our autism classroom, structured snack time is more than a break; it's a learning opportunity. Every bite is a chance to practice requesting, making choices, and building independence. With your help, we've turned snack time into a moment of connection, confidence, and joy.\r\n\r\nThe Road Ahead:\r\nThanks to you, our students can focus better, stay engaged longer, and build essential communication skills in a way that feels natural and fun. We are using these moments to encourage speech, social interaction, and even fine motor skills. Every snack you provided is making a difference in their development—one small step at a time.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has left a lasting impact on our little learners, and we are beyond grateful. Thank you for believing in our students and for being part of our journey. You have given us more than just resources—you've given us love and support that we will carry with us every day.","fullyFundedDate":1742582578298,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-for-success-fueling-my-self-cont/9137441/","projectTitle":"Snacks for Success: Fueling My Self-Contained Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tocmo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9933928"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_94334","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":641,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":15,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":24,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":28,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":55.6,"schoolId":94334,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Robert L Forbuss Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Robert L Forbuss Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/robert-forbuss-elementary-school/94334"}
