After a long school day, many of our students arrive tired, hungry, and struggling to stay focused. Now, the moment they come in, they're greeted with a simple but powerful boost—something to eat that helps them recharge before diving into homework and tutoring.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments happened the very first day the snacks arrived. As soon as students saw the variety waiting for them, their faces lit up. Several of them said things like, \"We actually get snacks today?\" and you could feel the energy shift in the room. Students who usually start the session sluggish were suddenly alert, talkative, and ready to work. It was amazing to see how something as small as a snack could change their whole attitude.\r\n\r\nThe snacks have also created a sense of community. Students gather around the table, pick out what they want, and spend a few minutes talking with each other before getting started. That short break helps them decompress and get into the right mindset for learning. I have noticed that once they have had something to eat, they settle into their assignments much faster and stay focused longer.\r\n\r\nYour support didn't just fill a need—it gave our students comfort, consistency, and a little joy at the end of their busy day. Thank you for recognizing how important it is for students to feel cared for and energized. Your kindness is fueling both their bodies and their success.","fullyFundedDate":1763481772731,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-for-the-after-school-program/9887106/","projectTitle":"Supplies for the After School Program","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Marinova","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4133234_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1484243348293","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4133234"},{"teacherId":546296,"projectId":9900935,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to my Donorschoose project.
