My Project

Our counseling department is in need at our school! Please consider helping! We live in a rural school district where we have several students are in need of snacks throughout the day to help them focus when they haven't had meals. Meals for these students are rare sometimes at home and several students will go hungry at home and school is their only safe place to receive breakfast or lunch or snacks. We always want to provide our students the best chance and having one last thing to stress about, like hunger will help them focus in the classroom and their school work.
