Food for the Brain

Help me give my students end of the year materials to keep them fed and ready to learn!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Stephenson's classroom raised $200

My Project

Please help me give my students snacks and tissues for the end of the year! Our school day is an extended day, and the students get very hungry. It is also allergy season, which means students are using an excess amount of tissues, and we have currently run out! Both of these things are essential to keeping students basic needs met, so they are able to continue learning. My students are still working very hard as we have an extended year as well! It would brighten their days to have these needed supplies.
