Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

It is so important that my students have a little pick-me-up when they need it. If I keep some snacks, they will not be hungry during the day and can focus on their class instead of their hunger. Something like a simple bag of chips, crackers, or a piece of candy can change their whole day. I am so excited to be able to give these snacks to them during the school day We cannot use the water fountains so I need to have drinks on hand. I will keep snacks and have them for whoever needs them. I am grateful to be able to help them out with this small gesture. So many kids will benefit from this project.
