My Project

Students who attend school are presented with the option to obtain an education. In most instances, students arrive at school hungry and distracted. To ensure success teachers have provided snacks to students to alleviate the distraction in class. Hunger shouldn't be an issue that prevents students from learning. Naturally, being hungry is a huge distraction that takes away the joyful experience of learning. Providing snacks and a safe learning place is paramount to inspiring a lifelong learner. This project aims to provide students with the necessities vital for learning. Every student deserves a chance to succeed; this donation will help a scholar succeed.
