My Project

Many of my students come in late or are simply still hungry after eating their breakfast and lunch. They are spending their time thinking about when the next bite is coming instead of thinking about the lesson being taught.

Help us to provide hungry students with snacks they will love and keep their minds on the day's learning.

Students who are satisfied on food are better able to concentrate and retain the new information they are learning. This will positively impact their entire school year. All students need to do is come to the teacher and say that they need a snack!
