My Project

Help me put together a pantry for my students to come get food. I have requested easy items for them that can be a snack to hold them over between breakfast and lunch or until they go home in the afternoon.

I would like to put together a small snack area for students who come to school hungry or just need a snack in order to focus on the math they are trying to learn.

My students struggle in math and at times are hungry. It is very hard to focus on anything when you are hungry during the day. Please help me give them healthier options besides candy.

Grades 9-12
