They are the first to get to school every day. But arriving early comes with a price - if they ride the bus from their houses to their high school, they must immediately transfer buses to come to the technology center. There is no time for them to visit the cafeteria at the high school, even if they do get free breakfast. These two young ladies might get on the bus as early as 6am, and then not get to eat lunch until after their 3rd block class, sometime around 1:30pm. That's a long time to wait for anyone, but especially for teenagers.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generous donation of breakfast snacks, Mary and Lexi have a yummy snack waiting for them when they arrive to class each day. These two girls, along with other students, are much better equipped to learn material as they are not focused on a growling tummy. A snack just seems simple, but it makes a huge difference. My students and I thank you so much!!","fullyFundedDate":1792592403554,"projectUrl":"project/breakfast-boost/10645910/","projectTitle":"Breakfast Boost!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Yarborough","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9800748_orig.jpg?crop=2201,2201,x0,y154&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746027264853","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9800748"},{"teacherId":9800748,"projectId":10263734,"letterContent":"I cannot thank you enough for the classroom supplies you have generously provided for my students.

We were able to install the display in the hallway outside the classroom to create a photo spot.
