My Project

It is no secret that high schoolers are hungry most of the day. Many avoid school lunches. But, these students still deserve food that will help them focus in class. Learning is hard enough without the extra element of fighting hunger while at school. With these snacks I will be able to give snacks to students when they miss breakfast, need a break, or deserve a reward when they accomplish something great. This also allows me to have students get extra help during lunch hours, without having to miss out on something to eat.

My students accomplish great things each and every day- this project will help them get there.
