My Project

Middle school can be a challenging time for many students—especially those working hard to meet academic, behavioral, or personal goals. In our special education classroom, students are making amazing progress, and I want to support their efforts with something simple but effective: snacks.

With your support, we hope to provide a variety of snacks such as gum, pop tarts, chips, cookies, fruit snacks, and other easy-to-distribute items.

These snacks will be used as daily incentives, motivation, rewards for meeting goals, and brain fuel during work time. Having snacks on hand helps our students stay focused, feel encouraged, and know that their hard work is noticed and appreciated.

Thank you for helping motivate and support our learners in a way that truly makes a difference!
