My Project

Hunger shouldn’t be a barrier to learning. Many of my students come to school without enough to eat, and it's hard to focus on their learning when their stomachs are empty. This project will provide a variety of snacks—some healthy, some just comforting—to help keep students energized, focused, and ready to learn. Whether it's crackers, beef jerky, or an occasional treat, these snacks give students the fuel they need to make the most of their school day. Your support will help create a more focused, supportive, and caring classroom environment.
