Snacks also stabilize blood sugar, which is essential for cognitive functions such as memory, problem-solving, and focus. Additionally, well-timed snacks can prevent overeating during main meals, encouraging balanced nutrition habits. For growing children, snacks can be an opportunity to include vital nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and protein, that support overall development. Therefore, including nutritious snacks in a student's daily routine contributes significantly to their ability to learn, participate actively, and maintain good health during school hours.","fullyFundedDate":1751904237080,"projectUrl":"project/lets-fight-against-food-insecurity/9446561/","projectTitle":"Let's Fight Against Food Insecurity","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8502898"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_85960","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":528,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":62,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":79,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"13.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":56.2,"schoolId":85960,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Niles McKinley High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Niles McKinley High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/niles-city-school-district/mckinley-high-school/85960"}
