Beyond the Bell: Nourishing Minds, One Snack at a Time
Help me give my students the fuel they need to thrive beyond the bell!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cando's classroom raised $190
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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 Project
The snacks and materials I am requesting will ensure that students who stay after school can focus on learning instead of hunger. Providing snacks will help sustain their energy, concentration, and motivation. By meeting this basic need, we can create an environment where students feel safe, supported, and ready to engage in after-school learning activities.
The primary goal of this project is to remove hunger as a barrier to learning for students who stay beyond regular school hours.
By providing snacks, we aim to improve students’ focus and participation in after-school programs, support their overall well-being and encourage a love for learning without the distraction of hunger.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
