We were able to provide snacks to all of the students who were not able to bring snacks for themselves from home. We were also able to use these snacks any time student just needed a snack to help them make it to lunch time or to the end of the day. \r\n\r\nThe students were so happy and excited to see the variety of snacks we were able to offer daily. Everyday they would happily sit in their table spots and raise their hands for their morning snack. Many students asked where they came from or who brought so many snacks for them. We noticed a considerable difference in student behavior decreasing with the ability of students to have access to snack whenever they were hungry.\r\n\r\nWe are so appreciative of everyone who donated to this project to help lighten the load for teachers and for parents. Feeding 24 children every takes a lot of money and this donation allowed us to focus on other areas of the classroom environment to enrich students learning!","fullyFundedDate":1733246611589,"projectUrl":"project/food-is-fuel/8924952/","projectTitle":"Food is Fuel","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Leclair","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8304278_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753195853951","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8304278"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_78391","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":305,"numTeachers":13,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":13,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":34,"percentIndigenous":4,"percentLatinx":30,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"23.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":72.2,"schoolId":78391,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lafayette Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Lafayette Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/eureka-city-unified-school-district/lafayette-elementary-school/78391"}
