Mental Health Refuge and After School Snacks

Funded Oct 26, 2024

Thank you so much for your generosity! My students often come to my room asking for snacks and it feels great to be able to provide for them. Some students come in at the same time and we use this time to introduce ourselves to one another and form friendships. We also use these snacks in after school and this helps students stay motivated to attend after school activities. I also use these snacks for my restorative justice class to celebrate birthdays and certain milestones. I have the opportunity to meet new students as well because they hear through the grapevine that I have snacks and they come to meet me. I am very grateful to be a safe space for all students.”

With gratitude,
