My Project

Brains work better when fed! Students should not have to work hungry or be worried about food. This project will help fund my classroom snack box so that my students are able to make it through the long day of learning. A majority of my classroom comes from low-income areas. I offer a snack time every day to help break up the long day of learning. I also offer students an opportunity to take a snack if they miss breakfast or lunch that day. I have previously purchased these items myself and as a teacher, the budget is stretched thin. Please help keep my kids' brains growing and their bellies full!
