My Project

Every single day I have students come seek me out to see if I have any food they can eat. Many of my students come to school hungry and rely on my snacks to help them out.

Students have more focus in the classroom when they are not paying attention to their growling stomach!

My students come to school ready and willing to learn. They want to do their best in the classroom. Having a small snack to get them through is usually all they need to go from feeling miserable to being able to focus.
