Hunger in the Summer!

Help me give my students snacks so they can stay energized throughout the summer school program.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Vaughn's classroom raised $379

My Project

Our class is in need of basic snacks to help them stay energized throughout the school day. Toward the late half of our busy structured school day, my class usually gets very distracted and cranky after being in school for over seven hours. Most of the time they are only served small portions of food during lunch, which results in them being very hungry in the late afternoon.

The goal of this project is to ensure that my students have a small snack to help them stay energized and focused on their lessons for the remainder of the school day.
