My Project

Hello!

I am seeking funding to help provide snack options for the students who receive speech and language therapy.

This project will help students in 6th-8th grade at CMS. Students ask for snacks throughout the day and keeping it stocked can become quite expensive. Teachers, like myself, always want to provide the most for our students by providing needed materials and a comfortable/inviting classroom environment. When students are hungry they are not performing at their best. Students may experience hunger throughout the school day for a variety of reasons including missing breakfast, not having enough time to eat a full breakfast, or getting to school late and missing breakfast here.

Please consider donating to help me curb their hunger by stocking the speech and language classroom with snacks (and a snack organizer) to last until the end of the school year.
