My Project
In order for my students to learn, and thrive, their basic needs must be met, which include proper hydration and nutrition. Many of my students come to class without access to snacks or drinks, which affects their concentration, energy, and overall success in learning. My project aims to provide daily snacks such as chips and refreshing drinks like water and juice to my students.
These simple, healthy snacks will help sustain their energy throughout the school day, improve focus, and create a positive classroom environment where every child feels cared for and ready to learn.
The primary focus of this project is to provide studens with essential snacks and drinks water, chips, and juice to support their physical well-being and enhance their ability to concentrate and participate fully in classroom learning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
