My students really appreciated the snacks while taking the English Language Proficiency Assessment.

My students loved that they had options to choose from and that they were snacks they actually liked. The English Language Proficiency Assessment can be very daunting for multi-lingual learners, and you helped make this process a little easier on them. I know my students will also appreciate the snacks when they take the OSAS next month.","fullyFundedDate":1769348675041,"projectUrl":"project/my-special-ed-and-eld-students-need-your/10047993/","projectTitle":"My Special Ed and ELD students need your help!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lendo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7560970_orig.jpg?crop=337,337,x0,y30&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1600456725735","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lendo"},{"teacherId":7560970,"projectId":9765476,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping me support my students.
