BIG thank you to Snarrfle, Lacey, Allen H, Dae, elk-cat for your generosity! Iโ€™ve got about 10 more boxes to unload (will do that later this week!) but my carโ€™s trunk is filled with snacks Iโ€™m taking to work tomorrow!!!!

You are so sweet thank you so much!
And yep I get lots of students who I donโ€™t even teach coming to me for a snack lol. The school lunch just isnโ€™t cutting it for many of these kids, itโ€™s so minimal.

Thank you! I tried to diversify the snack options so students arenโ€™t eating the same thing every day. I get anywhere from 2-10 kids asking for something to eat daily so I figured Iโ€™d change it up a bit. I had mostly cheese itโ€™s and Belvita crackers but those have been gobbled up!

Yep! Itโ€™s a magnet school and theyโ€™re really trying to encourage lower performing students to take APHUG (not IB) and IB TOK. Each child no matter what is encouraged (not forced) to take a college level class. Studies have shown students are more prepared for college and critical thinking evenโ€”

I am overwhelmed by yโ€™allโ€™s generosity thank you so much! I should hopefully have enough snacks to get us by for a few months, you guys purchased lots of snacks! Thank you for helping the โ€œsnack mommaโ€ as they call me, and more importantly THANK YOU FOR FEEDING HUNGRY STUDENTS!

Aw man that stinks. None of our funding goes to snacks either. Most of my studentsโ€™ only meal of the day is the lunch we provide. I hardly got any of the teaching supplies I asked for this year and itโ€™s only going to get worse!

I tried to put some cheap snacks on there but any help is appreciated. Many students go home to no dinner at night and no food on the weekends. I try to help where I can, but I seem to have a lot of hungry kids this year and want to help them. Even sharing this would be super helpful!

Check out my list on Amazon

I work at a Title I (very low income) school. My snack supply is depleted and I have lots of hungry kids coming to me daily asking for snacks. Iโ€™ve bought a couple boxes but need more. If youโ€™d like to donate to help my students, please consider my list! Please share!

Down 6.5lbs since Sunday on Optavia. The food sucks but it works and I feel great. Guess I was doing shitty things to my body

I am very grateful my children were born before this current administration and have had most of their vaccines already.

If youโ€™re still arguing the MMR vaccine (or any vaccine for that matter) causes autismโ€ฆ please read up on Andrew Wakefield. A fucking fraud. Vaccines are HELPFUL. Do yourself a favor

Yessss!!!! I found meclazine at CVS, I was prescribed a large dose for my vertigo years ago. I didnโ€™t know it was OTC. I took 2 and I suddenly could ride rides again!

Every single fucking resource I use in my classes has to be approved. My curriculum is a shell that I have to fill in because there are no textbooks. How can I spend all this time getting shit approved? I have no time. Teachers quit bc of shit like micromanaging. Fucking MAGA needs to step back.
