Focus Food

Help me give my students snacks for the community snack basket in our room!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Vedros's classroom raised $279

My Project

My high school students are on a block schedule, with 3 classes before lunch and 1 class after lunch. This puts lunch at 1:15, leaving many of my students hungry way before lunch begins.

Knowing that students cannot focus and engage in lessons when they are hungry, I like to offer a snack basket to help with hunger pains before lunch!

These snacks will be put in a basket for my students to enjoy when they need a little something to make it to lunch time. Once they are not hungry, their attentiveness and participation in class will improve!
