The issue is this line:

message = "<h1>" + "name: " + students.name + "</h1>";

By using = you replace the existing content of the message variable with the one you are assigning to it. Which means that the content that was in message during the previous loop is lost. The line is meant to use += like this:

message += "<h1>" + "name: " + students.name + "</h1>";

That way the content is just added to message without replacing what was already present in the variable.

Is student a object of objects Or an array of Objects?
