Their eyes lit up seeing all the boxes of snacks for them. Believe it or not food impacts a lot of emotions in students and the littlest treat went a long way for a lot of the kids. \r\nIf a student didn't have their own snack for the day they were allowed to take one from our snack bin. They then knew they had to work hard throughout the day. \r\nYou were able to supply snacks for students in need until December. \r\nHopefully I will be able to create another project like this to get me to the end of the school year.","fullyFundedDate":1758723555143,"projectUrl":"project/fueled-for-learning/9714857/","projectTitle":"Fueled for Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Berntsen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp334429_orig.jpg?crop=719,719,x0,y170&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1590679186739","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/334429"},{"teacherId":3165102,"projectId":9069188,"letterContent":"It so important to make sure kids are fed and focused to have a successful school day.

We eat and then get right back on task and get to their learning again.\r\n When I see my students get up and grab a quick snack I smile. They all smiled when I opened the boxes of snacks, but now it's my turn to smile. It makes me feel good to know that my students don't have to feel hungry because they may not have enough food to eat at home. It brings me great joy to know that so many people felt compelled to help others that may be less fortunate than themself.
