My Project

I am requesting snacks to help students who are socioeconomically disadvantaged get a little something to help them get through the school day. Although breakfast and lunch are provided in our school, some students may not eat the food offered. As a guidance counselor, it is helpful to have snacks such as Cookies, Chips, Snack Bars, Graham Crackers, etc. in our offices to encourage students to come to school. By providing a variety of snacks to choose from, students can feel comfortable coming to the guidance offices to discuss whatever may be on their minds both positive and negative.
