Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Students during counseling and testing need to be connected and focus on the task to achieve optimal results. These snacks will go a long way to help connect with my students on a personal and individual level.

Many of our high school kids do not eat lunch at the high school because they do not like the meal for the day.

Students being aware of the availability of snacks in my office will provide them the opportunity to grab a quick bite to rejuvenate their energy levels thereby providing a boost for the teaching environment.
