FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Varlas's classroom raised $310

My Project

I am the Behavior Specialist at Brookside Middle School. I work with students that are struggling with behavior, social skills, and academics. This store will provide snacks and fidget toys to help support our students. My goal is for all students at Brookside to be successful in academics and behavior.

I would like to provide snacks to my students that are making good choices and our rewarded for their improved behavior, social skills, and academics.

The Cuda Store will greatly help my students that do not have support at home and our struggling at school. The fruit gummies, break box snack box, and cheez-it’s will provide brain power to my students that are hungry. The snacks will provide fuel for their body and brain. The Lakeshore Fidget Poppers and Fidget Solar System will help my students focus that have a hard time in the classroom. The fidget tools will help them focus, complete their work, and stay calm.

The Cuda Store will be located in my classroom. Every other Monday students that are making good choices, improving academically, and behaviorally will get to visit the Cuda Store and choose their prize.
