My Project
Providing a snack when students are hungry will help them concentrate better in their learning. I constantly hear their stomachs growling in class. For the past two years, I have provided snacks, which I pay out of pocket without hesitation, but the high costs are making it impossible for me to continue to pay. Any help will be greatly appreciated! The students are deserving of a snack, which most of the time, can't be provided by their parents and/or guardians as their earnings from work barely help to make ends meet at home. Please help me by giving students at my school the extra energy needed to learn during their time at school.
