Food is Fuel

Help me give my students a variety of snacks for the after school running club.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Claffey's classroom raised $581

My Project

Providing students with a safe place to be after school hours is essential. At our school we host a running club where students learn to build their running stamina. Students start off running maybe one lap around the field and build their way up to 3 miles or a 5k. Snacks will provide energy to be ready to exercise. These snacks will fuel students to allow them to be ready and energized to participate in the fun running activities. Not all students are able to bring in extra snacks for the after school program. So please consider providing food for these students.
