My Project

Hello, Donors! Help provide my students with access to brain fuel to power them through the day. Students have increasingly longer schools days with few breaks in between. Fifth grade has the most time between breakfast and lunch out of all students at our school, and are in need of a nutrition break to keep them focused through lunch. At a Title I school, many students do not have access to extra food or have other obstacles that prevent them from bringing a snack to school. Help me provide them with a healthy option for snack. Thank you in advance for your support!
