Before our sessions, the kids love, love, love jumping on the sensory path—it's a favorite part of their routine.\r\n\r\nBeyond supporting the students, these supplies have meant so much to me as well. As a new therapist, I started with very few materials, and your generosity has helped me create sessions that are both fun and effective.

The new snacks have made a huge difference in our classroom, giving the kids the energy they need to stay focused and engaged throughout the day. One special moment was during our morning story time when several children who usually struggle to pay attention were able to sit and listen eagerly, excitedly discussing the story afterward. These snacks not only help keep their little bodies fueled but also create a warm, welcoming environment where they feel cared for and ready to learn.\r\nWhen the children first saw the snacks, their faces lit up with joy and excitement—it was clear how much they appreciated this thoughtful gift. Moving forward, these snacks will continue to support their learning by keeping hunger at bay during important activities like circle time, arts and crafts, and early literacy lessons. Our next step is to integrate more group projects where the kids can collaborate and share, building social skills alongside their academic growth. Your kindness has truly made a lasting impact on our classroom community, and we're grateful for your continued support!","fullyFundedDate":1746698809809,"projectUrl":"project/help-provide-my-pre-k-students-with-snac/9213833/","projectTitle":"Help Provide My Pre-K Students with Snacks!!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hamilton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9814754_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1743025555594","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9814754"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_15725","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":481,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":67,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":27,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":75.5,"schoolId":15725,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Martha Gaskins Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Martha Gaskins Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/birmingham-city-schools/martha-gaskins-middle-school/15725"}
