My Project

My 8th-grade inner-city math students work hard every day. Their school day starts at 8:20 am and their lunch period isn't until 1:08 pm. As growing tweens and teens, they are often hungry! And when kids are hungry and distracted, learning becomes very difficult.

Help my students with a little snack or treat to keep them energized and motivated!

My students would love a little mid-morning pick me and not all of them are able to bring something in each day. It would be great if we could provide a small treat here and there, especially on those harder-to-get-through days.
