My Project

My Students

I teach a wonderful group of 6th grade students who encourage each other and work hard each day.

My classroom community is filled with students who strive to do their best with what they have. I believe my students deserve so much, and I want to encourage them to always try hard and never give up. I appreciate your help in filling those needs to help my students build a foundation of learning and success.

My Project

Some of my students come to me with hungry bellies and I need your help to fill those needs. Healthy snacks will increase learning abilities in the classroom throughout the day. The snacks can boost their energy level for learning. Snacks enable the students to become more engaged in classroom activities. The snacks can help students to grow and develop more skills in the classroom. The snacks can help promote more minor behavior problems.

By providing the students with healthy snacks, we can increase higher academic performance in the classroom.

The snacks can help keep the students alert. A healthy snack can help encourage concentration and re-energize tired students, kids burn energy fast. These snacks will keep them moving and help students who might not have opportunities for healthy snacks.
