Fuel Your Stomach! Fuel Your Brain! School's Back Part 2

Help me give my students food items to help fuel their stomachs and their brains to help them stay focused during lessons.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Holmes's classroom raised $187

My Project

Please help my class have a successful day of learning at school by providing brain fuel. Oftentimes, students come to school hungry due to not having eaten dinner the night before or they have arrived at school late due to oversleeping and have missed the school breakfast hours. As a result, students often complain of their heads and stomachs hurting.

When students are hungry, it is hard for them to stay focused during lessons.

When students are given a small snack, it can make a major impact on how they are feeling by helping fuel their stomachs, which, in turn, fuels their brains. In return, students can focus on their academics and not have to worry about being hungry.

Being able to provide a small snack for students when they are hungry will make a positive impact on student learning on a day-to-day basis. Students will walk into the classroom confidently knowing that there is a small morning snack available for them to eat that fuels their stomachs.

Having small snacks available will take the worry from my students of whether they will have a successful day of learning or whether they will have to worry about their stomachs or heads hurting due to being hungry.

Thanks in advance for helping my students fuel their stomachs and brains for learning.
