With these resources, we are able to provide nourishing snacks throughout the school day—especially during those long mornings when hunger can make it difficult to focus on learning.\r\n\r\nThe first time the students saw the snacks, their faces lit up with excitement and relief. Some students shared that they often come to school without breakfast, while others quietly took what they needed with a grateful smile. Having these snacks available has helped them stay energized, focused, and engaged in their lessons. It has also reduced anxiety and increased participation—students are raising their hands more, working collaboratively, and staying on task longer.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was when a student who usually struggles to stay focused during math proudly completed his assignment, later saying, \"I wasn't hungry today, so I could actually think.\" Moments like that show just how impactful this project is.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we plan to continue integrating healthy snacks into our daily routines and pairing them with discussions about wellness, self-care, and making responsible choices. These resources have become part of a positive and supportive classroom culture—one in which every child feels cared for and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThank you for your kindness and belief in my students. Because of you, hunger is no longer standing in the way of their success.","fullyFundedDate":1762266325024,"projectUrl":"project/hunger-should-never-be-a-barrier-to-lear/9859704/","projectTitle":"Hunger Should Never Be a Barrier to Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Aboushanab","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10174073_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764533058047","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10174073"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_104861","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":452,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":21,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":66,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.5,"schoolId":104861,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Middle School 662 Liberty Avenue Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Middle School 662 Liberty Avenue Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/liberty-avenue-middle-school/104861"}
