Every day in my classroom, I see students who are eager to learn—but oftentimes hunger stands in the way. Whether they’ve missed breakfast, don’t have enough food at home, or just need a boost to get through the long school day, it’s hard to focus on academics when your stomach is empty.
That’s why I’m asking for your support to provide a steady supply of snacks and breakfast items right here in our classroom.
By having various shelf-stable items on hand, I can ensure that any student who needs a little fuel has access to it—no questions asked.
This project will help create a welcoming, judgment-free space where students know their basic needs are being met. Whether it’s first thing in the morning or halfway through a tough day, these small bites can make a big difference in energy, focus, and participation.
Your generosity will help remove one more barrier to learning, and let students focus on what they came here to do—grow, achieve, and thrive.
Thank you for investing in our classroom and in our students' well-being!
