Our students have truly benefited from the snacks you've provided—both the daily snacks and the extra ones available for those who may not have anything to eat. Each day we have several students who rely on these, and it makes a meaningful difference in their energy, focus, and overall well-being.\r\nThe fruit snacks have also become a beloved part of our prize box. They are always one of the first rewards chosen, and the students get so excited to earn them. These small treats have become a big motivator and add an extra bit of joy to their day.\r\nThe Goldfish are another class favorite. During tests, when students start to feel overwhelmed, those little smiling fish help them stay calm, steady, and motivated. It's amazing how something so simple can help them push through and keep swimming toward their goals.\r\nYour kindness has had a real impact. You're not just providing snacks—you're feeding empty bellies, supporting learning, and bringing comfort and encouragement to our classroom every single day.
