My Project

I have 22 smart, kind, and inspiring students. They are only in 4th grade but many of them have already experienced the most heartbreaking situations. They are truly hard workers.

We are in a Title 1 school where many students do not have the basics that so many of us take for granted.

They are so thankful to be able to go to the closet and grab a snack whenever they need it. I have seen behaviors go down and concentration go up by providing snacks to our beautiful students.
