My Project

My students need snacks to keep their stomachs full and their minds ready to learn throughout the school day. Your donation will go towards a variety of snacks for my students. When students come in late or are struggling to focus, a quick snack goes a long way.

During the school year, I keep a stash of snacks for students who need to fill their bellies at times throughout the day or to take home.

Some students are hungry due to the lack of food at home, coming in late, inability to focus, or needing some additional encouragement. Having snacks readily available decreases irritability, shame, and embarrassment; it also allows my students to focus on learning. Food is essential. Students who have their whole body needs met have been shown through research to be more successful in education.
