My Project

From day to day, I always have students approaching me about being hungry. With grumbling stomachs and hunger headaches to accompany that, how in the world are these students to focus on my outstanding lessons? They can't! This is why we need your help.

This project is full of healthy, sweet, and spicy snacks to help curb the growing amount of students who can't focus on their work because they are focused on their hungry stomach.

I requested snacks like peanut butter crackers and Capri juice to help wash those snacks down. Snacks like fruit cups can be eaten while students are working. Please help us eliminate hunger from our classrooms.
