We have observed students making their first connections with others through their snacks! \r\nThe snacks are rewards for taking the steps to come to a new place with new people. This can be very challenging for students with social anxiety. They see another student choosing the same snack and a connections is made. By the end of the trip, students have made new friends, and shared experiences with their classmates. Some have even said the best part of the trip was getting to know their teacher and making new friends. \r\nThank you to the donors who made this possible.
