Food for Focus

Help me give my students a little snack to help them focus on their day’s work. we all know how important breakfast is and many do not eat it.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Norris's classroom raised $442

My Project

With these items I will be able to provide my students with some much needed food. All to often my students do not eat until after school. Some the small meals at school are all they eat. We all know how hard it is to focus on daily tasks when all we can think about is food. By having these snacks on hand in my room, I am able to provide a little something to help my students focus and be successful. Allowing them to not worry about where and when they might eat next will help them in many ways.
