My Project

The students in my school come from diverse backgrounds. Some are in need of snacks to help them stay focused in class, others need assistance in accessing basic hygiene items.

Students can benefit from full bellies and having their basic needs met, our school does a great job at doing that, but our students can always use the additional support.

The goals for this project are to ensure that our students are able to come to school without fear of embarrassment due to a lack of personal hygiene items. The snacks will be used to help students focus in class, since sometimes students forget to eat breakfast before school.
