Favorite Snacks for Happy Learners

Help me give my students their favorite snacks to stay happy, focused, and motivated. This project will help keep them energized and ready to learn.

Ms. Smith Mallard Creek Elementary School

Charlotte, NC Grades PreK-2

My Project

My students are young learners with diverse sensory processing needs, and many have strong preferences for specific foods and textures. Having access to their favorite snacks helps them regulate, stay engaged, and remain comfortable throughout the day, especially since they will often eat these preferred snacks consistently and reliably.

This project will provide a variety of their favorite snacks that support attention, behavior, and emotional regulation.

For many of my students, consistent access to preferred foods helps reduce frustration, supports smoother transitions, and keeps them motivated and ready to learn during instructional time. When their needs are met, they are better able to focus, participate, and fully engage in learning and social experiences.

Your support ensures that every child in my classroom has what they need to feel calm, cared for, and ready to succeed each day. Thank you for helping create a learning environment where all students can thrive.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
