Food For Learning

Help me give my students snacks so they are ready to learn each day!

My Project

My students come from low-income homes, and most don't have adequate food at home. Having snacks in my class will allow me to ensure each child is ready to learn each day after a healthy snack.

My students love to learn and are eager to do their best.

Having these snacks will allow my students the options to help them learn at their highest potential. Students who don't worry about food can focus on learning- our top priority. I want my students to know they will always have a place to get a snack if needed.
