The students at my school are an amazing bunch of young adults looking and yearning to learn more in a hands-on manner in the classroom. Education is a valuable tool for my students and with your support, you can provide them with opportunity.
This project supplies will be available to all students in the building, helping them with their nutritional needs.
Sometimes, students are just hungry.
I teach middle school students who are preparing themselves for the real world. It's my goal to meet my students' needs and provide them the opportunity to excel in their learning and move on in life, ready for any challenge.
My Project
Food is a basic necessity. Not all students come to school properly fed or don't have the financial ability to eat breakfast or lunch on a daily basis for various reasons. By providing snacks for students, I will be able to fill a snack cabinet for them to have access to. It will help satisfy that nutritional need.
Research shows that there is strong evidence in supporting nutrient intake for the students.
It increases cognitive functioning and decreased absenteeism.
By providing students in need of nutrition in a non-threatening atmosphere, students will then be able to have something to eat and function better in their academics; removing a barrier that sometimes goes unnoticed.
Half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
