My Project

I have students that are preparing for life by working on line. It is always nice to have some snacks in the classroom when students are struggling to stay focused.

A little extra energy can go a long way when you are running late to school, just didn't get enough food for lunch or just feeling a bit snacky.

This is such a good way to show the students you care by providing some snacks to make it through the day. I am excited to provide this for them daily.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
