Food for Thoughts

Help me give my students the fuel they need to make it through the day, with a healthy snack.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Romero-Paredes's classroom raised $387

This project is fully funded

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

The rumbling of a stomach blocks out the sounds and interest of any teacher no matter how good. The rumbles consume the whole body and mind leaving the student with only one thought "I'm Hungry", typically followed with "when's lunch?" and for some "when will I eat next?".

Hunger kills potential and limits the ability of growth.

With these snacks you will be giving students some piece of mind, the energy needed to make it through the day and a smile on their face. Potentially changing there life forever, or at least making their day.
