They are bummed they have to wait until second semester. They are inquisitive and thoughtful and I think this novel is exactly right for them.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU.

Your contribution has done more than just fill a shelf with food. It has nourished minds, lifted spirits, and helped create a more supportive and nurturing learning environment for every student who walks through my door.\r\n\r\nAs educators, we are often called to go beyond the scope of academics. We are teachers, but we are also mentors, counselors, and caretakers. We do our best to meet students where they are, not only intellectually, but emotionally and physically. Unfortunately, this often means addressing unmet basic needs, like hunger, that directly impact a student's ability to focus, engage, and thrive in school.\r\n\r\nFor many students, school is the one place where they can rely on consistency and care. Yet even here, gaps remain, especially when it comes to ensuring that no student has to sit through a full day of learning on an empty stomach. With your donation, you've helped close one of those critical gaps.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, my classroom will now have a steady supply of healthy snacks, nutritious options that students can access without shame or hesitation. This is a simple, powerful resource. It enables students to better focus during lessons, regulate their emotions more effectively, and feel safe knowing that their well-being is seen and prioritized.\r\n\r\nYour kindness is a reminder to these young people that there are people beyond the walls of their school who care deeply about their success. It fosters trust. It builds community. It changes lives in quiet but profound ways.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in the importance of both education and compassion. Your contribution is not just feeding students, it is fueling their potential.\r\n\r\nWith gratitude, \r\n\r\nMs. Miller","fullyFundedDate":1752760038156,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-minds-and-bodies/9448604/","projectTitle":"Fueling Minds and Bodies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Miller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7042272_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1718928579297","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7042272"},{"teacherId":4529026,"projectId":8893573,"letterContent":"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous donation to my classroom. My student TRULY enjoyed this book.\r\n\r\nOur journey with this book was incredibly special. Not only does the novel mirror recent and current events, we were able to read the novel in the exact same time period that Butler wrote about-- the year 2024. My students are the exact same age as the protagonist -- born in 2009. This allowed them to really connect with Lauren's character on a level I have not seen with other texts.\r\n\r\nRave Reviews for Parable of the Sower (by my class):\r\n\r\n- \"My favorite Black History moment was discovering Octavia Butler's writing. I relate to her so much, even though I never thought I would.\" - Hadassah F.\r\n\r\n- \"I like the book, not gonna lie, I don't like reading and I hate books but this book is lowkey cool.\" - Brooklyn W.\r\n\r\n- \"I think I really like the book so far. One of the big reasons being that I can relate to the main character a lot. The big thing that stood out to me was the religion part. It had me thinking about religion all weekend.\" - Alex F.\r\n\r\nThank you SO much to your contribution! You helped some teenagers get excited about and interested in reading!!

This has impacted this set of students as we continue to photograph headshots and fill their acting portfolios with photos used to audition for films and theatre opportunities within the community.
