Food For The Brain

Help me give my students the fuel they need to help manage kids' hunger and boost their nutrition.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mays's classroom raised $176

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students should and will never lack the fuel they need to keep their brains flowing. Healthy snacks help manage kids' hunger and boost nutrition. Snacks can keep them from getting so hungry that they get cranky. Snacks may help prevent overeating at meals. And for picky eaters of all ages, snacks can add more nutrients to their diets.

Even with their diverse backgrounds, they still manage to come to school with a positive mindset, ready to learn.

My students take pride in the work they present and strive to make the best of every obstacle that comes their way. They must obtain it to achieve it! Help me fuel their brains!
