Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 35

I am happy to report that our We Dine Together club had close to 35-40 members in attendance on a bi-weekly basis. It is hard to put a number on how many students were impacted b/c our We Dine Members did activities that affected the entire student body (chalk art during finals, encouraging notes during valentines day, welcoming new students to our campus, etc.)  With your funds we were able to purchase pizza's for lunch time meetings, shirts for club members which provided a sense of belonging and board games/crafts that gave a safe place for our we dine members to come to during lunch time (which can be a hard time during middle school)
