My Project

My students come to school to learn but also to have many basic needs met. While the school provides fruits or vegetables daily, my little ones still get get hungry throughout the day.

The snack dispensers and water bottles will help keep them ready to learn.

In a time where some have resources but many do not, the snacks and water bottles would provide equal options for all. Water fountains are provided but only the kind to fill a water bottle necessitating each child have their own. They all love goldfish and pretzels.
