My Project

My students are amazing and engaged learners - they are a joy to see every day! I'm noticing that as the school year goes on, there's been a big uptick in the number of students asking for snacks to supplement the lunch they get at school. There's many reasons...some may not be able to afford their own snacks, some worked hard in PE class earlier in the day, or others just need a little sustenance to get them through the day. No matter the reason, when students aren't focused on being hungry, they are focused on their academics!

Thank you for contributing to this DonorsChoose project to help me have a stash of granola bars and crackers to share with students when they need a little something to eat.
