Will Work For Treats

Help me give my students small treats to snack on after working hard on the farm!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Tina Alcain's classroom raised $264

My Students

Many of my students are from low-income families and receive free lunch. Our school is the only high school in our area and this year 100% of the students will receive free breakfast and lunch for the school year. Sometimes, eating a healthy, well-balanced meal happens only in school for many of them. Being able to grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs for them to take home and share with their families is something we have been wanting to do in class for a long time. We also have livestock to take care of that we use as learning tools in the classroom. Taking the livestock section one step further and harvesting them for food will teach the students even more about self-sustainability.

Sharing the bounty they raise in class with their families will solidify the teachings and experiences they have in class.

They will be able to share with others how they worked and harvested what they grew and raised then turn around and share with their families what we ate.

My Project

My students work hard in the garden and on the farm! We have done so many things since school came back in-person and I would like to have these snacks and treats for them in case they need a little something to tide them over until lunch time. Having the water cooler and bottles from another project really helps with keeping us hydrated throughout the day, and now having these snacks will keep hunger pains at bay.

Treats are a great motivator when working outdoors on projects and maintenance, and having treats and water available for students all the time will get the students to work even harder.

My students really do love to be outside working, for the most part, and I appreciate all they do to make the gardens and the farm look nice and maintained. If we can all have smiles on our faces at the end of the period after having a treat, then our day will be deemed a success!
