Empty Stomachs

Help me give my students the full bellies to focus. You know yourself it is hard to focus when you are hungry. Help my students fill the bellies with snacks like Fruit Snacks, Pringles and Chips.

Mc Kees Rocks, PA Grades 3-5

My Project

While school provides my students with free breakfast and lunch, we all know how hard it can be to focus when we are hungry. I can only imagine how hard it is to learn if I did not like what was for breakfast, lunch or waiting for lunch because it is later in the day.

I always try to have snacks in my room for these students, but unfortunately that adds up!

Help me fuel up these hungry bellies so that they can do their best learning every day with snacks like chips or fruit snacks.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
