Knowing that there are people who care enough to help makes a powerful impact on their confidence and sense of belonging. The pantry supplies have been organized so that families can easily access essential food items when assistance is needed. Your generosity has helped transform a simple idea into a practical source of support that strengthens our community.\r\n\r\nThis project also teaches our students important values such as compassion, gratitude, and service to others. They are learning that helping people in need is a meaningful way to build stronger relationships and a more caring society. By witnessing the positive outcomes of your donations, students are inspired to grow into responsible and empathetic individuals who understand the importance of giving back.\r\n\r\nThank you for standing with us and helping nourish not only the body but also the spirit of our community. Your generosity will be remembered and appreciated by students, families, and staff for many years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1771017669212,"projectUrl":"project/nourishing-our-community-through-a-food/10085891/","projectTitle":"Nourishing Our Community Through a Food Pantry Project","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Martinez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9695915"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_9190","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":795,"numTeachers":70,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":98,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"11.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":51.8,"schoolId":9190,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Liberty Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Liberty Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/pharr-san-juan-alamo-independent-school-district/liberty-middle-school/9190"}
