Food for Knowledge

Help me give my students the food they need to succeed. If students are hungry they can’t learn.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Tomlinson's classroom raised $732

My Project

My students come to school sleepy, hungry, tired, worn out, and sometimes desperate for food. They are eager to learn and do their best.

If students are hungry they can’t learn appropriately.

Help me give them the snacks they need to help them learn all day.

All of my students get free breakfast and lunch each day. Some days they will only eat while at school. There are days I send kids home with backpacks of food until I see them again. I want to have snacks available so no child feels hungry while in my classroom.
