My Project

My classroom is filled with fun, curious students who bring a lot of energy and personality to everything they do. They love learning, especially when it involves technology—and they definitely love to snack! I've noticed that when students have access to snacks during the day, they’re better able to focus and participate. It’s not about big meals, just enough to keep their stomachs from growling and their attention on learning.

This project will help provide healthy snacks and improve access to technology like tablets or larger desktop computers.

These tools are especially helpful for students who struggle with traditional writing and benefit from more flexible learning options. By meeting their basic needs and giving them the right tools, I can help every student feel comfortable, supported, and ready to learn. Your support will fuel both their minds and their bodies—and trust me, if I’m snacking, they want to be snacking too!
