Fuel for the Mind

Help me give my students snacks to help fuel their body and minds for learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Cruz-Edwards's classroom raised $297

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

This project contains snacks for my class. Many students come to school hungry or simply need a snack to hold them over until out lunch time. Having the snacks in our classroom helps keep my students focused on learning and not when their next meal will take place.

Fuel for their body will help keep their mind actively engaged in learning.

These snacks are also optional to take home if the students need to make sure they have food in their stomachs before they close their eyes for the next.
