My Project

I haven’t met my students yet, but I already know they’ll bring curiosity, creativity, and unique perspectives to my classroom. As a first-year Family & Consumer Sciences teacher, I’m eager to help them grow not just academically, but in the real-world skills they’ll carry into adulthood.

The healthy, individually packaged snacks I’m requesting — like snack packs and fruit snacks — will give my students the energy they need to focus on lessons and fully participate in hands-on projects.

Hunger can be a major distraction, and I want to make sure every student in my room feels supported and ready to learn from the moment they walk in.

These snacks will also be woven into our curriculum. Students will read nutrition labels, compare portion sizes, and discuss the cost-effectiveness of different snack options. By turning a simple snack into a teachable moment, I can help my students develop healthy eating habits, critical thinking skills, and a stronger connection between what we learn in class and the choices they make in their daily lives.

With your support, I can start my first year prepared to meet both my students’ basic needs and their educational goals — creating a welcoming classroom where every student has the fuel to succeed.
