Because of your kindness, our students were able to access essential tools and resources that made a real and lasting impact on their learning and daily well-being.\r\n\r\nThanks to your donation, every student was able to receive their own pair of headphones. This simple yet powerful tool gave them the ability to focus more deeply during lessons, assessments, and independent work. For many of our students, this was their first time having a personal set of headphones, and it made a tremendous difference. We are proud to share that students showed significant growth in their testing data—a direct result of being able to engage in lessons and assessments without distraction.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the snacks you helped provide were a game changer. Many students face each day with challenges outside of school, and on days when they didn't feel their best or arrived without a meal, those snacks gave them the boost they needed to stay focused and succeed. Whether it was something to settle their stomach or simply a quick pick-me-up, your donation helped meet their basic needs, which in turn supported their academic performance.\r\n\r\nAs the school year came to a close, we were excited to let students take their headphones home. Whether they'll use them for summer learning or bring them back for the next school year, it meant so much to them to keep something that was truly their own. The joy on their faces when receiving these items was unforgettable. It wasn't just about the supplies—it was about knowing someone cared enough to invest in their success.\r\n\r\nYour generosity helped create a stronger, more equitable learning environment, and for that, we are incredibly grateful. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of our students. Your impact will be felt far beyond this school year.","fullyFundedDate":1734630016298,"projectUrl":"project/bright-futures-fueling-2nd-graders-for/8941685/","projectTitle":"Bright Futures: Fueling 2nd Graders for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Thomas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9835280_orig.jpg?crop=3151,3151,x0,y210&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753892904990","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9835280"},{"teacherId":9879209,"projectId":9068837,"letterContent":"Having snacks donated to our classroom has had a remarkable impact on our students' overall well-being and learning experience. These snacks have not only provided essential nourishment, but they have also fostered a sense of community and support among our students. The availability of healthy snacks has helped combat fatigue, allowing students to maintain their energy levels and focus during lessons. This has led to increased participation, improved concentration, and enhanced engagement in classroom activities. Moreover, providing snacks creates a more inclusive environment where all students feel valued and cared for, which positively influences their social interactions and emotional well-being. We are currently utilizing the donated snacks during our morning and afternoon breaks, which have become integral parts of our daily routine. When the students first saw the donated snacks, their reactions were filled with excitement and gratitude. Many of them expressed joy and enthusiasm, and it sparked conversations about their favorite snacks and healthy choices. This immediate positive response fostered a sense of appreciation for the generosity of our donors and created a welcoming atmosphere that encouraged teamwork and sharing. We'll also hold a class discussion to share student findings and brainstorm ideas for healthier snack options they can make at home. This project not only reinforces their learning but also empowers them to make informed decisions about their health.","fullyFundedDate":1737468728947,"projectUrl":"project/nourishing-minds-and-bodies/9068837/","projectTitle":"Nourishing Minds and Bodies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9879209_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1735413910888","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9879209"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_127310","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":421,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":56,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":78,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.3,"schoolId":127310,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Promesa Academy Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Promesa Academy Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/texas-department-of-education/promesa-academy-charter-school/127310"}
