Promote Positive Behavior

Help me give my students snacks to help motivate and energize them throughout the day.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rudd's classroom raised $428

My Project

Giving students snacks throughout the day helps them stay focused and behave better. When kids are hungry, they can get cranky, distracted, or tired, which makes it harder for them to pay attention or follow instructions. Snacks give them the energy they need to stay alert and ready to learn, helping them stay on track for the rest of the day.

Snacks also show students that their needs are important and that you care about their well-being.

When kids feel taken care of, they're more likely to have positive attitudes, get along with others, and participate in class activities. In short, providing snacks helps create a better classroom environment where students feel supported and motivated to do their best.
