My Project

No one wants to go into a work or school setting on an empty stomach or feeling hungry. Many of my students come into school hungry and/or become hungry as the school day progresses. This affects their ability to focus on their school work, causing a lack of concentration.

These snacks will provide my students with the nutrients they need to maintain a positive mindset in school and remain focused.

Thank you in advance for providing my students with a supply of snacks that can help improve their focus throughout the school day as well as their moods.

Ms. Trudgeon
Grades 3-5
