My Project

This project seeks funding to provide middle school students with access to nutritious and enjoyable snacks that serve both as positive behavior incentives and as a means of supporting student well-being. Many of our students come from low socioeconomic backgrounds, where consistent access to healthy, filling snacks is not always guaranteed. For these students, even a small mid-day pick-me-up can make a significant difference in their focus, energy, and overall school experience.

The Snacks for Success project will supply a variety of snack options, allowing students to select items they enjoy while promoting responsibility and autonomy.

These snacks will be used to encourage positive behavior, reinforce good decision-making, and reward academic effort. In addition, they will provide students with the nutrition and energy needed to remain engaged throughout the school day.

By funding this program, we will not only address the immediate needs of hunger and energy but also create a school culture that values recognition, motivation, and student well-being. A small investment in snacks has the power to yield meaningful outcomes in classroom behavior, academic engagement, and student morale.
