My Project

When suggestions are coming from someone else, our students are more likely to respond well to them. Our elementary school is visited by several high school ambassadors and mentors who work with students to improve their academic skills, social skills, and sometimes just talk to them. Mentors need to be ready to work and not be shy about going into classrooms and providing much-needed guidance for our young students. The variety pack cookies, popcorn, sour punch twists, Pop Tarts, and crave box variety care package are perfect for sharing. Having them around is also a great way to keep your hunger at bay. These items are likewise suitable for quick snacks on the go. They are also helpful for sharing with students, mentors, and co-workers.
