Food for Thought: Snacks Help Us Learn!

Help me give my students healthy snacks for the entire year of learning

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Pe'a's classroom raised $965

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project is to provide snacks for the students who forget their snacks that day. Some students even worry about where their next meal will come from. It's a long, hard day without a snack.

These snacks, including apple sauce, chips, pretzels, and granola bars, will help students focus and be successful all day long.

These snacks are also prepackaged so that there is minimal instructional time lost; students can just grab a snack after lunch and continue working. Thank you in advance for supporting our learning!

My students are like my family. They are so near and dear to my heart. My students are hard workers and love to learn! I teach at a Title I school with low income families. My students enjoy hands-on activities, as well as exploring new ideas. I love them, and I want them to help maximize their growth in the classroom to help make them successful adults.

I'm also including storage bins to keep the snacks fresh for the entire year.
