My Project

Our 9th grade students don't always ask us for much, but show much appreciation when we offer things like food to them. We would like to provide snacks for our students to help curve hunger and hopefully help learn more. Many of our students come to school hungry and do not eat lunch. When they are hungry, they are not ready to learn. A little snack can go a long way in helping them. We also want to provide an incentive to come to our tutoring sessions. We offer tutoring in the morning before classes start and afterschool. We offer snacks once they complete the work to provide a boost to come see us.

We also are attending a field trip as a team and want to provide a drink and snack for all of our students when we are done.

It will be warm outside and we want to provide them with a little extra something for good behavior which we know they will have.
