My Students

My students often come to school hungry & don't have the nourishment they need to focus on academics. Many of my students come from high-poverty homes. As a classroom teacher, I would love to be able to provide them with snacks to help them make it through the day.

My students have amazing stories of overcoming obstacles and beating the odds, whether it be poverty, language barriers, or something else.

I want them to know that their school is a welcoming home and safe place. We are invested not just in their education, but in their lives and well-being.

My Project

So many of my students come from high-poverty homes where there is genuine worry about where their next meal is coming from.

I want my students to know that if they need a snack during class, I have them available.

The focus needs to be on academics and not on hunger. In addition, many of my students struggle if they aren't able to move around the classroom. The fidgets will help me promote an active environment no matter what we are learning. Any support of this project focused on feeding and helping focus my students to promote fitness is much appreciated.
