Be Kind to the Mind

Help me give my students a healthier lifestyle by providing them with snacks to improve their concentration levels and overall well-being.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. York's classroom raised $316

My Project

Healthy snacks will improve students' ability to perform better in school. Snacks will boost their cognitive functioning levels.

What is more, with the cold and flu season, students will benefit from having facial tissues and disinfectant wipes available to reduce the spread of germs.

Healthy snacks also may improve immunity levels with Vitamin C and other key nutrients. In the process students learn more about how their minds and bodies are interrelated. My goal is for students to make healthier snack choices by choosing healthy snacks over high sugar and sodium snack choices.
