Help me give my students snacks to stay fueled and focused throughout the day!

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Having a supply of snacks and drinks will be very helpful to my students as they go throughout the day because they need to stay fueled to learn and concentrate. When needed, they will be able to pick a snack and or drink that can help them stay on task until they have lunch or until they go home. Unfortunately, some of my students do not have the access to obtain snacks or food for lunch before they come to school, and by donating you can help change their access. Providing snacks and drinks will help contribute to the academic success of my scholars by giving their brains the nutrients it needs to continue learning and performing to their fullest potential. My students always do their best when they are focused and fueled.
