Banish Hunger in the Classroom! Provide Healthy Snacks for Students

My students need healthy snacks to help them focus at school

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kwon's classroom raised $1,195

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My hardworking and resilient 9th-grade​ students push limits and succeed even in an educational system which has largely failed them. Most students do not have the financial freedom when it comes to making purchases whether they are essential or not. At our school, students come from low-income households which commonly struggle with food security.

Most students come to school on an empty stomach and do not bring lunch, which is why I want to always have healthy and filling snacks available for them at school and to take home.

My Project

Rather than letting our students worry about attending school because they suffer from malnutrition, these healthy snacks will help students gain confidence and participate more in all their classes.

Studying on an empty stomach can be distracting, painful, and reduces students' confidence at school.

While our school's budget makes it impossible for teachers to provide snacks for their students, I have purchased granola bars for years using my personal paycheck and provided them to the entire freshman class on a daily basis.

My students have overcome innumerable barriers to pursue a quality education - let's​ help them in the little ways that we can!
