Help me give my students snacks to fuel their brains to keep them learning.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rugg's classroom raised $169

My Project
Imagine trying to focus on a lesson with a growling stomach—it's nearly impossible. That’s the daily reality for many of my students. I teach a diverse group of bright and creative learners who often come to school without a snack or enough fuel to keep them energized throughout the day.
This project will help stock our classroom with a variety of healthy, kid-friendly snacks such as crackers, pretzels, and Slim Jims.
These snacks will be available to any student who needs a little pick-me-up to stay focused and ready to learn.
With your generous support, we can create a classroom environment where no student has to worry about being too hungry to succeed. These snacks will not only support their learning but also help build a community of care and kindness where students know their needs are recognized and met.
Thank you for helping us turn hunger into happiness—and learning into lasting success!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
