Fueling Hunger and Minds One Day at a Time!

My Project

Help me give my students food fuel that can help-add nutrients in between meals and beyond. My students come from various backgrounds which has placed many of them at a disadvantage. As their teacher I have a responsibility to help my students overcome those disparities that they are faced with based on their backgrounds and the environments in which they live in.

Snacks and water in the requested water bottles are known to help improve cognitive function and development.

Along with a side of technology with the requested MacBook Pros, we can bridge the gap to help my students be more successful. which can also aid in the quality of teaching and communication styles between myself and my students.

Help me give my students snacks and water bottles to fuel them through the rest of year to the finish line and the MacBook Pros, the latest state of the art technology, to continue their learning on the rigorous scale that the new education system has them under. No one person learns the same , so with these adaptive forms of technology I can rest assured my students will be better prepared for learning at a more effective and efficient rate by exposing them to various interfaces.
