Food for Thought

My students need healthy snacks to keep their energy up and their brains working all day!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Brown's classroom raised $159

This project is fully funded

My Students

My school is an all girls school on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Though the school is on the Lower East Side, my students hail from the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and even NJ. Most students are living in low-income housing projects and receive free or reduced lunch. Many of them travel over an hour to attend a quality public school in New York City.

My students come to school each day eager to learn in a loving, safe, and exciting environment.

They strive to show our school's core values of Sisterhood, Responsibility, Merit, and Scholarship, and it is our hope that we are preparing them to move onto middle-school, high school, and eventually graduate from college!

My Project

My students need healthy snacks such as crackers, fruit snacks, and healthy popcorn to keep them energized for learning all day long! These snacks would allow our students to have enough energy to keep on learning throughout the day and grow their brains! If we can make sure they get a snack, they will be able to better focus and really build the fundamental knowledge necessary for them to go onto the next grade and continue to be successful throughout school.

This project is important because our students have a very long day and need some different yummy snacks to help them stay engaged in learning.

If we can give them the smallest thing like an afternoon snack, they will be able to keep up their energy and learn even more in the exhausting afternoons.
