My Project

What I love most about my learning strategies students is their determination. They show up ready to work through challenges, push themselves academically, and make the most of every single day. But learning takes energy and it’s hard to stay focused on reading, writing, or problem-solving when your stomach is growling.

That’s where you come in.

With your support, I want to stock our classroom with a variety of snacks: chips, Rice Krispies treats, cereal bars, cookies, peanut butter crackers, Pop-Tarts, and more so my students have the fuel they need to power through their day. These aren’t just “treats”; they’re tools to help my students stay energized, focused, and ready to learn.

Many of my students juggle a lot; late nights, early mornings, after-school jobs, sports, and family responsibilities. Sometimes they skip breakfast. Sometimes lunch just isn’t enough to carry them through. Having a quick snack during class can make all the difference in their mood, their concentration, and their confidence.

Every bite you help provide will be one more boost of energy that keeps them engaged in their work instead of distracted by hunger. You’re not just giving snacks. You’re helping create moments of success for students who are working hard to achieve their goals.

Thank you for considering a gift to our classroom. With your help, my students will be fueled up, focused, and ready to take on every challenge that comes their way.
