Fueling Young Minds: Snacks and Supplies for Success

Help me give my students yummy snacks to fill their hungry bellies and supplies to fuel their brains.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Adkins's classroom raised $390

This project is fully funded

My Project

The use of the snacks will ensure that students will not have to go hungry waiting until lunch time. This year my first grade students have the last lunch, so I want to ensure they have snacks that can help fuel them so they can continue to focus in class.

The supplies will be essential in ensuring that my students are able to fully get the most out of all the activities that we do in the classroom for them to be successful.

My students are bright, and full of potential. Each day, they come to school eager to learn, explore, and grow--despite any challenges they may face outside the classroom. They support one another, celebrate small wins, and bring so much heart and energy into our learning space. What makes them really special is their ability to stay curious, kind, and determined. With the right tools and support, I know they can achieve amazing things.
