Creative Choices

Help me give my students a variety of snacks to choose from. They need the art supplies to allow them to be more creative.

New Bern, NC Grades PreK-2

My Project

I love that the children seem to enjoy being in the classroom when they can make their own choices.

Pre-K children are not able to choose what kind of breakfast or lunch they receive.

For some children, school may be the only time they get to eat. Sometimes the children don't like the breakfast or lunch that the cafeteria gives them. By giving them a choice to choose from a variety of snacks, this allows them to pick a snack they can eat and enjoy.

In the Art center, they can express their creativity. The art supplies will help them to be as creative as they like.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
