Food for Thought!

Help me give my students food to sustain them until they eat lunch.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. K Coogler's classroom raised $377

This project is fully funded

My Students

My class is composed of a very diverse group of juniors and seniors who enjoy a love of learning. They strive for the best and push themselves to achieve their goals. I am impressed by their determination and enthusiasm. Our goal is to work towards increasing the availability of Dual Enrollment, CLEP, and AP classes so that they reflect the diversity of our school.

My Project

These snacks will help sustain my students until they can eat lunch, which is very late in the day. My students come to me starving and lack the concentration needed to focus in class. I also feed students who are not in my class that are looking for food, which I am happy to provide. Our students strive to do their best and that is when they are not hungry. They are focused when hunger is not an issue.

Fully funding this project will help them focus and concentrate in class by providing food for thought!
