My Project

My students come from low income families. When they have a week off of school for Spring break, they miss out on the breakfast, lunch, and snack that they depend on during the school day.

The food in this project will provide nutrition for my students so they will be ready to come back to school and learn after the break!

There is pancake mix, syrup, cereal, and oatmeal in this project for students to start their day out right. Lunch and dinner foods include macaroni and cheese, spaghetti and spaghetti sauce, ramen, soup, vegetables, fruit cups, biscuit mix, and juice boxes.

My students would benefit greatly if they are able to receive these items to sustain them over Spring break!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
