Sip, Snack, Succeed: Helping My Students Thrive Daily

Help me give my students snacks, water, and juice so they can stay focused, energized, and ready to learn throughout the day.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. McClendon-Butler's classroom raised $400

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am committed to creating a nurturing and supportive environment where all my students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. However, many of my students face food insecurity, arriving at school without snacks or beverages to sustain them throughout the day.

Hunger and dehydration can negatively impact their focus, energy, and ability to participate fully in class.

The primary goal of this project is to eliminate hunger and thirst as barriers to learning by providing snack and beverages to my students. These snacks such as potato vhips and juice will help improve their concentration and energy level, fostering a more productive and positive learning environment. By addressing this essential need, I aim to create an inclusive classroom environment where all my students feel prepared, cared for, and ready to learn.
