For many of them, having consistent access to snacks helps them stay focused, calm, and ready to learn. One moment that stood out was during a small‑group reading lesson—students who normally struggle to stay engaged were able to participate longer simply because their basic needs were met.\r\n\r\nWe use the snacks throughout the day during transitions, independent work, and moments when students need a sensory or emotional reset. These small supports make a big difference for our SPED students, helping them regulate, stay motivated, and feel cared for.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has created a more supportive classroom environment. Our next steps include continuing to build routines that help students recognize their needs and advocate for themselves. Thank you for believing in our students and helping us create a space where they can thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1778262110483,"projectUrl":"project/snack-time/10249903/","projectTitle":"Snack Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nava","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10489350"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_11679","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":383,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":40,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":51,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":41,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":11679,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Seele Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Seele Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/new-braunfels-independent-school-district/seele-elementary-school/11679"}
