Full Bellies, Ready to Learn

Help me give my students snacks to keep their bellies full so their brains can learn!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Scholten's classroom raised $170

My Project

In our busy classroom, where young minds are eager to gain knowledge and explore the world around them, having snacks readily available plays an integral role in meeting the diverse needs of our students. For many of them, the morning rush can leave little time for a substantial breakfast, and as a result, hunger can quickly become a distraction in their learning journey.

Thanks to your thoughtful generosity, we are able to offer nutritious snacks that fuel both their bodies and their minds.

It's remarkable to witness the transformation that a simple snack can bring about. When bellies are filled and energy levels are replenished, students are better equipped to concentrate on their lessons, engage in classroom activities, and interact positively with their peers. Moreover, providing snacks fosters a sense of inclusivity and ensures that no child is left behind due to hunger.

Beyond the immediate impact on academic performance, your support in providing snacks sends a powerful message to our students: that their well-being matters, and that there are caring individuals who believe in their potential. This sense of security and support forms the foundation upon which they build their confidence and strive for success in all aspects of their lives.

Your generosity not only fills hungry tummies but also nourishes young minds and spirits.
