Granola Bars for the New Year

Help me give my students granola bar snacks to fuel them up for the 2nd semester of school!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kretschmer's classroom raised $281

My Project

We are stocking up on granola bars (fruit and nut, almond, chocolate chip, oats and honey) and instant oatmeal to start the new year strong. When students return from winter break, they’ll begin the second semester with renewed energy and focus, and we want to ensure they have the nourishment they need to thrive. Many students arrive at school hungry or lack access to consistent meals, which makes it difficult to concentrate and fully engage in their learning, especially during hands-on labs and activities. Having nutritious snacks on hand will help keep them fueled throughout the day.

Every student deserves the energy to succeed.

By helping us provide granola bars and oatmeal, you are directly supporting our students’ well-being and academic performance as we kick off the second semester. A simple snack can have a profound impact, helping students stay focused, confident, and ready to tackle their studies. Your generosity ensures that hunger doesn’t stand in the way of their success, giving every student the opportunity to start the new year strong and reach their full potential.
