We have a very large library with modern furniture, and the space can look a bit sparse and cold without greenery. And because it's such a big space, it takes a LOT of plants to make an impact! I appreciate your help in funding something that may seem 'extra', but in fact creates a healthy and happy school environment. The plants help clean the air of our older building, and the greenery keeps us feeling calm.

Students went through those snacks at a record pace! I was able to give snacks to so many students during the last few weeks of the semester, and give snacks to seniors during their finals. The applesauce is always a huge hit, as they appreciate the healthy option. The assorted boxes had all kinds of snacks, from small candy to healthy granola bars and trail mix. As I've mentioned before with these grants, my students often only eat some of the school lunch, and it's not enough. These snacks really do help students concentrate and have a happier school day.

And, with Thanksgiving break arriving, all of the books were checked out with excitement. I'm happy that my students had great cookbooks to use with family and friends. The fact that they were all written by living black chefs? The cherry on top! :) Thanks for making this possible for my students.

They love that the snacks are not just junk food and talk about how our school lunches don't often have healthy options. This is doubly true for those with religious diets or allergies.
