My Project

A child who is hungry cannot be hungry for knowledge”, said Virginia’s First Lady Dorothy McAuliffe

My library is open to all students, PreK-12th grade.

I began keeping a tote full of snacks for anyone who needs one because too often I would hear students mention how hungry they were, how they didn’t have enough time for breakfast or lunch, or they simply needed an extra “pick me up”. I have been refilling the tote more and more frequently and the cost is adding up. I cannot imagine not providing these little treats for my kiddos, but the financial aspect is becoming greater than I’d expected.

Your generous donation can help my tote stay full until the end of the school year in late June.

Thank you!

Mrs. Beaton
Grades 6-8
    More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households

    This project will reach 150 students.
