Let Them Eat... Breakfast

Help me give my students breakfast items such as oatmeal and granola bars to tame the morning hungries.

My Project

Anyone who has a teenager knows they are always hungry. I have 150 of them and rarely does a day go by when they aren't hungry (food insecurity issues aside, teenagers like to eat a lot!) I am constantly asked if I have anything to eat, and through generous donations from Donors Choose, I usually have noodle soups available. Usually, kids don't want noodle soup at 8:30 in the morning though.

I would like to provide quick breakfast items that they can grab in my classroom like instant oatmeal, granola bars, and fruit bars.
