Feed the Kids

Funded Nov 24, 2024

First of all, I want to begin by thanking you all for the donations to our classroom. As of right now, the snacks are used in three main ways. First, they are used as motivators for the students. When we are trying to achieve a goal as a class, such as completing homework or a certain amount of reading minutes, I motivate them with the snacks. Second, they are used as raffle prizes. Every Friday we try to do raffles. Students earn the raffle tickets when they participate, when they read for a certain amount of minutes and much more. Then, they have a chance of redeeming. Finally, they are used to feed students when they have no breakfast or lunch, as we understand that people cannot learn if they do not have their biological needs met.

When our students first saw the prizes, they were very excited that they had more snack options. I was providing all the snacks from out of pocket so it was very limited, but after your donations, they were very excited about the variations.

Our next steps are to continue learning and preparing for the state exams. I am hoping with the snacks, we are able to continue helping children have motivation and less hunger to be able to put their education in first place while in the classroom. We appreciate all you did for us!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Acosta
