Relaxed and Fed Students... Leave My Office Ready to Learn

Funded Dec 9, 2024

My students and I really appreciate the snacks and toys provided by your generosity. Thank you for your kindness. When a student arrives at my room, I can now offer a variety of healthy, tasty snacks, a cuddly plush, or relaxing toys. They feel welcomed and encouraged to share their thoughts and/or concerns while they munch away. There are days when the snacks in the cafeteria are not to their liking and they are now aware that Ms. Diaz has snacks that are readily available to them. Good news travels fast!!!

My students reaction when I first opened the donated snack boxes and toys was excitement and pleasure to see the variety. They especially love Henry the Husky weighted plushy and are familiar with the Minecraft Axolotl. They love walking around the room or sitting and petting them. At first, many students really thought Henry was a real puppy.

The next step is for me to continue to provide the same care and concern for my students. After all, I will accompany them through this middle school journey.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Diaz
