Food for Thought

Help me give my students the snacks they need in order to focus and learn in school.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I don't know if you guys have seen public school cafeteria food lately, but it does not look great. So when my kids decide not to eat it, even though they do not have anything else to eat with them, I cannot really blame them.

A lot of my kids rely on local food pantries and donations for their meals.

They all have free lunch at school, but when that does not look edible, what will they do? Because of this fact, I try to provide some type of snack for them in my room. This can be as simple as a granola bar or peanut butter crackers. As you can imagine, this can get expensive with 100 students, especially when you talk about middle schoolers who would constantly eat if you let them.

This project will help me provide those snacks for them for the last half of the year. I had a project funded that lasted me about one-half of the year already, which was wonderful!

Thank you so much for thinking of my kids and being so generous with your money!
