My Project

Preschoolers want snacks! Something I implemented years ago is snack time. Many of my students only eat while they are at school, so I am so happy our school can provide our preschoolers with a free breakfast and lunch meal to fight hunger. Little ones are always hungry, so before dismissal, we have a snack. No matter what is going on during the day, we have a snack. My preschoolers always seem to love Mott's fruit snacks, Rice Krispies Treats, and GoGo squeeZ applesauce for snack time!

Having a snack during the day helps manage and fight the hunger of my students and their growing bodies while boosting nutrition and keeping the students fueled up for their next activity.

Help to replenish our supply of snacks to keep my students' bellies filled, keep hunger at bay, and help students focus on learning while at school. My students know they can always count on getting food at school. Our goal is to have happy kids, learning to their full potential. We appreciate all your support with this very important project!
