Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Students often face challenges that go beyond the need for school supplies. One such challenge is the unfortunate reality that some students miss breakfast, which can have a detrimental impact on their day.

Together, we can ensure that no student starts their day on an empty stomach and help them thrive academically and personally.

Our project aims to address this issue by providing nutritious snacks and drinks to students who miss breakfast. By ensuring they have access to food to start to their day, we can help improve their focus, energy levels, and overall well-being. This will also give them the opportunity to take food with them over the weekend. Through this initiative, we aim to make each student feel cared for and supported, allowing their curiosity and creativity to shine brightly.
