A Sweet Snack for the Inner Child

Help me give my students a little pick me up snack! These are their requests, straight from the horse's mouth! It'd be so nice to surprise them with these for the down days.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wilson's classroom raised $952

My Project

Our class is a big SEL school...we love to spend some time chatting, focusing on relationship building, community building, and social and emotional wellness.

These snacks came back as the most requested items for "favorite pick-me-up" snacks in the classroom!

Again, not an academic resource, but having something fill your tummy while you are working or something sweet to nosh on helped all of us get through high school/undergrad/ grad school! I would so love to be able to surprise them with their own stash to be kept and controlled here in the classroom to promote a better learning environment and just the smallest of extrinsic motivation.
