Full Bellies Everywhere!

Help me give my students some snacks! As a social worker, I often provide the kids with snacks.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Marsalisi's classroom raised $328

My Project

I would appreciate any snacks for my smart, capable, and amazing students because hunger is a major barrier to learning. Many of my students come to school without having eaten, which makes it difficult for them to focus, stay motivated, or fully participate in class. A simple snack can make a huge difference—it helps boost energy, improve concentration, and create a more equitable learning environment. By funding this project, you will not only be meeting a basic need but also investing in the academic success and well-being of children who deserve every opportunity to thrive. My students and their families would be so very grateful!
