Your kindness has not only brought tasty joy to the students, but has had immense impact on their classroom focus and stamina. Since students don't get to eat lunch until 1 p.m., they start getting peckish during 4th or 5th period and it can be difficult for them to persist in learning when they're thinking about their growling stomachs. The snacks you donated have helped tide them over till lunch.\r\n\r\nHaving a classroom supply of snacks has also gone a long way towards reducing interruptions to our instruction time. Students can get cranky and off-task when they are hungry, or go to the office to see if they have snacks. (They usually don't!)

I wanted to take a moment to share how my students and I are enjoying the new resources you provided. \r\n\r\nRecently, we had a project where students engaged in meaningful group discussions about their futures, goals, lives, and the community around them. To create a relaxed atmosphere, we incorporated snacks into our discussions. The snacks not only brought joy to the classroom but also helped foster a positive environment where students felt comfortable sharing their thoughts and ideas. It was heartwarming to witness their enthusiasm and openness as they connected over these important topics. As for the next steps, we plan to continue building on these discussions by integrating our learnings into our school community. The students are excited to take their conversations beyond the classroom and make a tangible impact in our community.\r\n\r\nWe also have incorporated light boxes and various art supplies into our classroom, allowing students to create unique artwork based on their individual choices. The moment they first saw the light boxes, their reactions were priceless! They were genuinely impressed with the quality and functionality, which enabled them to trace very detailed images for their own creations. As we move forward, my students will continue to explore these new art supplies, using them to express their ideas and creativity through art. I am excited to see how their projects evolve and the unique expressions they will bring to life.\r\n\r\nThank you for your generous support, which has made these meaningful experiences possible.

Thank you so much for making this project possible for my Algebra students. Our school is a Title 1 school which means that students are economically disadvantaged, which prevents them from learning. When I first saw that people had given to my project, I was thrilled that people were kind and supportive of high school students. The day the boxes arrived, my students felt joy that they had healthy snacks, Lysol, wipes, air refresher, and tissues available for them in the classroom. My students were excited that kind people were thinking about their necessities.\r\n\r\n\r\nMy students enjoy learning in a clear and fresh environment. I have noticed that my students' attendance and academic performance have increased tremendously after receiving your donation. They are on time, they take the initiative to clean their desks, they spray Febreze in the classroom as needed. This winter has been tough for many people. Therefore, my students use tissues as needed when they know they are available for them. Their mental health seems to have improved. Now I have happy students who know that there are snacks in the classroom to fulfill their needs. They do their math work and eat their snacks with joy.\r\n\r\nYour donation has made a difference in the lives of my students. They look forward to being in class, and are inspired to be successful and to be able to help others in the future as well. \"I am receiving support from kind people now that I need it, but later on I will be the one helping people along the way\", said one of my students.\r\n\r\nMy students and I want to thank you for your support donating the essential items I requested and for making a difference in the lives of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1729535991842,"projectUrl":"project/lets-make-a-difference-in-the-lives-of/8893658/","projectTitle":"Let's Make a Difference in the Lives of our Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mella","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9811014"},{"teacherId":5796153,"projectId":8893143,"letterContent":"The students were filled with excitement as they enjoyed their snacks in and out of the classroom.

With our classroom snack supply, they are able to get a snack without missing out on instructional time. The impact on their focus and stamina in the classroom has been noticeable. Students stay on task for longer, are able to complete more reading and writing within the period, and are overall just in better moods.
