Full Bellies Lead to Full Minds

Help me give my students drinks and snacks to help them stay focused during the day.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Caushaj's classroom raised $186

My Project

Many of my students come from low-income families and arrive at school hungry. I want to provide snacks in the classroom to boost mood and improve focus for better learning outcomes.

It's hard for a student to focus on learning when they are hungry or thirsty.

When my students are hungry, they have less energy to work on school assignments and can become easily distracted. These snacks will help my students by giving them the energy and comfort they need. The snacks will be provided whenever a student requests them and will even be available for a student to take home if they need them.
