Fueling Young Minds, One Snack at a Time

Help me give my students access to snacks that support learning and are tasty.

Mrs. Kilpatrick Northwest Elementary School

Kinston, NC Grades PreK-2

My Project

My students are bright, resilient, and eager to learn each day. They come to school ready to participate, ask questions, and grow. I love their curiosity and determination, but some students struggle to stay focused when hunger becomes a distraction during the school day.

Providing snacks will help ensure that students have a little something in their tummies to help them concentrate on learning.

When students have access to a quick snack, they are better able to focus, participate in classroom activities, and engage with their peers. These snacks will help create a supportive learning environment where students can focus their energy on learning rather than worrying about hunger.

My goal is to help every student feel comfortable, supported, and ready to succeed. By providing snacks in the classroom, I can meet an important need while helping students stay focused, confident, and prepared to do their best each day. Your support will help fuel young minds, one snack at a time.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
