Your generosity and thoughtfulness truly made a difference in their day. For many of our students, a warm meal or snack is more than just food — it is comfort, security, and the fuel they need to focus, learn, and thrive. Because of you, they were able to sit in class with full stomachs and open minds, ready to engage and give their best effort.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, one of the hardest things is seeing a child distracted by hunger. It affects their concentration, their energy, and even their confidence. When students are hungry, it's difficult for them to think clearly, participate in discussions, or persevere through challenging work. Your kindness removed that barrier. Instead of worrying about when they would eat next, they were able to focus on reading, solving math problems, collaborating with classmates, and simply being kids.\r\n\r\nThe smiles on their faces said it all. There was excitement, gratitude, and a sense of being cared for. They felt seen and supported. You may not have been in the classroom to witness it, but your impact was evident in their laughter, their improved focus, and their overall mood. Small acts of generosity like yours ripple far beyond the moment — they shape how children feel about school and about the community around them.\r\n\r\nYour support also sends a powerful message: that our students matter. That their well-being is important. That there are people who believe in them and want them to succeed. When children know that others are investing in them, it builds confidence and a sense of belonging. It reminds them that they are not alone and that their community is rooting for them.\r\n\r\nTeaching 4th grade is such a special experience. They are at an age where they are growing academically and emotionally, becoming more independent, and learning to take pride in their accomplishments. Having their basic needs met allows them to fully embrace these milestones. Because of your generosity, they were able to show up as their best selves.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for nourishing not only their bodies but also their spirits. Your kindness created a positive, productive environment in our classroom and made a lasting impact. Please know that your generosity is deeply appreciated and will not be forgotten. You have truly made a difference in the lives of my students, and for that, I am so incredibly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1769915431735,"projectUrl":"project/hungry-hungry-4th-graders/10068163/","projectTitle":"Hungry, Hungry 4th Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Delshad","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5873767_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1694484121959","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/delshad"},{"teacherId":5873767,"projectId":10047496,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the amazing Wild Wild West decorations!

Even students who are usually more reserved were fully engaged, excited to participate and contribute to their team's success.\r\n\r\nThe best part of the day was watching how effortlessly fun and learning blended together. What could have felt like another review session became an opportunity for discovery, laughter, and confidence building.
