Because of your kind contributions, our 1st-grade classroom was stocked with healthy breakfast bars, fruit bars, and nutritious cereal to start every morning on the right foot. Your willingness to invest in our students' well-being has made a profound, daily impact on their learning, health, and classroom experience.\r\n\r\nIn 1st grade, morning routines set the tone for everything that follows. When six- and seven-year-olds walk through the door, their energy levels, focus, and emotional readiness to learn depend heavily on whether they have had a proper breakfast. Many of our young learners come in early or face long commutes, and having a reliable, delicious, and healthy option waiting for them at their desks makes a world of difference.\r\n\r\nWhen the boxes arrived, the children were thrilled. Opening the packages together felt like a celebration, and explaining to them that caring supporters like you helped send these snacks made them feel truly special and valued. They were deeply touched to know that people outside our school care about their happiness and success.\r\n\r\nYour donation did far more than provide food; it provided comfort, motivation, and a foundational support system that allows our young learners to thrive every single day. On behalf of all of us in 1st grade, thank you once again for your warmth, generosity, and commitment to making a real difference in our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1785648136006,"projectUrl":"project/off-to-a-good-start/10409691/","projectTitle":"Off to a Good Start","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Harper","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9070449_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x362,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1718721211293","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9070449"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_93244","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":544,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":96,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"21.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.1,"schoolId":93244,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about A.B.
