Your thoughtfulness has made a meaningful difference in our students' days and their ability to focus on learning.\r\n\r\nHow we're using the snacks\r\n\r\nSnacks are available during transition times and focused work periods — right after recess, during independent reading, and before afternoon math. When students have a quick bite, they settle into learning faster and stay engaged longer. We've noticed fewer distractions and more hands raised during lessons on days when energy dips mid‑afternoon.\r\n\r\nA specific classroom moment\r\n\r\nDuring our recent \"Making Waves\" science unit, we had a long hands‑on investigation day. One student who typically struggles with sustained focus had a snack mid‑activity and then stayed engaged through the entire wave‑building station — something that rarely happens. By the end, they were excitedly explaining wavelength to a classmate. That snack made the difference between checking out and truly participating.\r\n\r\nStudent reactions\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the snacks, their faces lit up with genuine appreciation. Several said thank you unprompted, and a few asked if they could share with a friend. \r\n\r\nNext steps\r\n\r\nWe're continuing our science unit with a \"Wave Showcase\" where students will present experiments and reflect on their findings. With sustained energy from your snacks, more students will be able to participate fully and present their learning confidently.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our classroom and our students' success.","fullyFundedDate":1769357736685,"projectUrl":"project/fuel-their-focus-4th-grade-snack-supp/10054185/","projectTitle":"Fuel Their Focus: 4th Grade Snack & Supply Support","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Marsh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10416647"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_21033","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":583,"numTeachers":62,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":94,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"9.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":57.9,"schoolId":21033,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Genesee Valley Central School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Genesee Valley Central School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/genesee-valley-central-school-district/genesee-valley-ctrl-school/21033"}
