Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Many of our students come in every morning, ready to learn, but it starts to fade midmorning!

Students learn better when their tummies are full.

I am asking for snacks for our students so they can do their best learning. All day we are asked by our students when lunch is, and I want to provide one less thing that they do not have to worry about. Snacks go a long way in our class. They bring excitement, joy, and full tummies to all of our growing learners. We will be able to accomplish so much when everyone has a working brain and a fully belly.
