Thank you for helping me provide healthier snack choices for my students! My students are so hungry midday and it makes me so happy to be able to provide snacks for them so it doesn't disrupt with their ability to learn! It is a big deal to me too the types of snacks that I offer to them especially since I have read what certain ingredients can do. So, I am hoping exposure to healthier less sugar snacks will help on what they pick when they are with their families. Thank you for making this project come to live and helping feed my kindergartners!”

Thank you so much for helping provide materials to read, learn, and use! Thank you for helping teach about our environment and how others are making a positive impact as well as teach us how we can also make an impact! My kindergartners have asked many questions and are very impressed how others have made an impact as kids! We have a lot of conversations about taking care of our Earth and how we can do little things to help! I can't thank you enough for your generosity in funding and picking our classroom project!”

Thank you again for making this project come alive for our kindergarten classroom! It is amazing to bring in live into a classroom that has no windows and doors remain locked. It is amazing to have my students take interest in our classroom plants and looking forward to all the learning we will do with them! It's great to be able to clean our tables with safer, less chemicals, and better for the environment cleaning spray! Thank you for helping me keep our classroom as clean as possible with plants and cleaning supplies!”

You don't know what a huge help you have been to our kindergarten classroom! My students are starving by 1pm and having snacks around this time has made a huge impact in their energy and behavior! We have been able to keep on learning! They are not saying, "I am tired, I am hungry, I am sleepy, my stomach hurts, etc". Thank you for helping avoid this and helping me provide healthier snacks for my kindergartners that are starving during this time! I am extremely grateful for your generosity and picking my classroom's project to donate to!”

Thank you again for getting my kindergartners' snack project funded! Thank you for helping me provide snack to my kindergartners. Without your help I wouldn't be able to provide snack on a daily basis! I am happy that I have been able to provide different healthier choices for them! Sadly, sometimes the healthier choices are too expensive for their families and then they aren't exposed to them or have good eating habits! I want to provide snacks that have no dyes, organic, have zero or less sugar and with your help I am able to do so!”
Thank you so much for helping bring into our classroom all these materials that were needed! I got to change our air filters for our air purifier! With no windows and door needs to maintained locked at all time that we don't have air circulation nor good quality air in our classroom ! We have made bags for Valentine's Day and were able to be creative and unique! We made Mother's Day bags to put all the presents in! We love our new plant that we love and care for! We have learned that plants are extremely important! I can't thank you enough for everything you have helped me provide for my kindergartners!”

Huge thank you! My kindergartners are in love with the books! They are a huge hit! As soon as I put them in their reading boxes they asked if we could stop our assignment and have reading time who h it made me so happy that they wanted to read! I can't thank you enough for this excitement you brought into our classroom! They have been reading and saying thank you for these awesome books constantly! Some of them have asked where did I get them and keep on saying how did you know our favorite characters! So, again, for bringing this much joy into our room!”

Thank you for helping me bring in snacks to my kindergarten classroom! My students are always hungry after P.E. and they express how they are starving! I have asked families to provide an individual snack for their child but don't always provide one or many don't at all. So, because of you I am able to provide a snack for each of my students and we can continue to learn without feeling hunger. I can't thank you enough for providing food for them when they are hungry! Thank you for your generosity and picking our project!”
