My Project

Snacks are an important part of our classroom community. Many students come from homes where food is scarce. While our school has a food pantry, there are not items that students can have as a snack. In order for students to do their best work, they need to have their needs taken care of. Hunger is a need that many of my students come with to school.

I do everything I can to make sure that my students have snacks readily available so that everyone is on the same playing field and ready for learning.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
