My Project

Help me give my students the snacks needed to succeed and achieve today!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Melissa's classroom raised $583

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our primary goal is to create an inclusive and dynamic learning environment that caters to each student's unique needs and interests. By integrating social and emotional elements into our curriculum, we aim to foster a love for learning, promote collaboration, and develop critical skills beyond the traditional classroom setting. This will create a conducive environment for extended periods of focused education, ensuring that they can fully immerse themselves in educational activities without discomfort and feelings of hunger. I appreciate your consideration and help; it is greatly appreciated!

The majority of our students are from low-income households; we want to provide a welcoming environment where students can feel safe to tell us they are hungry and other needs they may need to meet.

Who can learn and absorb information on an empty stomach? This donation will provide our students with snacks to help our students able to focus and concentrate on other skills needed in life.
