My Project

As a teacher, I see firsthand how difficult it can be for students to focus when they’re hungry or thirsty. Many of my students come to class without having had breakfast or with very little to eat throughout the day. This project is designed to provide them with snacks and bottled water to help them stay energized, focused, and ready to learn.

Having snacks available in the classroom means students can worry less about their hunger and more about their education.

A simple snack or a bottle of water can truly make a huge difference in helping them stay motivated and engaged.

Your support will help me stock my classroom with items. This will ensure that no student has to sit through class distracted by hunger or dehydration.

Thank you for helping me create a learning environment where my students’ basic needs are met so they can thrive academically and emotionally. Your kindness will make a real difference in their day!
