Because of your kindness, my classroom is stocked with snacks that make a meaningful difference in my students' daily lives.\r\n\r\nMany of my students come to school without enough food, and having access to extra snacks helps ensure they can stay focused, comfortable, and ready to learn. Knowing that their basic needs are being met allows them to feel safe and supported throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nIn addition, these snacks play an essential role in my work with students who have special needs. Using an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) approach, edible reinforcers are an important and effective tool for encouraging positive behaviors, building skills, and celebrating student success. Your donation directly supports this evidence-based practice and helps my students make real progress.\r\n\r\nYour generosity goes far beyond providing snacks—you are helping to create an inclusive, supportive learning environment where every student has the opportunity to thrive.
