Comfy Calm Down and Snacks!

Help me give my students new stuffing for our bean bag and snacks for hungry bellies!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kira's classroom raised $213

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project is to replenish the snack box in our classroom and to replenish the filling in our calm down corner bean bag. Donors have been so generous in the past to help me supply snacks for my students. I want to always have goldfish or a pack fruit snacks for a student who hasn't eaten when they get to school or when they get to my class, and with the help of generous donors, the financial burden of providing the snacks is not as heavy for me.

Kids just can't learn if they are hungry .

So, I make sure there is always a snack available in my classroom. I don't care if they just came from lunch, or if they should have eaten what was offered for breakfast. If they need something on their stomach in order to learn better, I am happy to provide it.

Thank you so much for considering this project. My students will be so thankful for your donations!
