Healthy Snacks and Reading Spot

Help me give my students a reading and snack area for after school tutoring.

This project expired on May 7, 2024.

Mrs. Sandy Padgett Sunny Heights Elementary School

Indianapolis, IN Grades PreK-2

My Project

I have several students who will participate in after school tutoring to develop their reading skills. I am able to provide the materials, but they deserve a cozy spot filled with books and snacks to start the night.

Healthy snacks and drinks along with an engaging reading area will help start the night.

Students will be able to recharge their bodies and brains before we continue our work in reading.

Having a healthy snack and drink along with a comfortable reading spot will allow our kids the chance to recharge before tutoring.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
