Snack Attack: Bridging The Hunger Gap

Help me give my students snacks that help them maintain energy levels during the mid-morning period and reduce hunger.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Overton's classroom raised $212

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds who work long hours and have little time to have breakfast before they attend classes. This project aims to address the mid-morning hunger experienced by my students who do not get to school in time for breakfast but need a boost before the lunch period.

Imagine a classroom where students are always energized, focused, and ready to engage-thanks to powerful mid-morning snacks.

These snacks will help bridge the gap between breakfast and lunch, ensuring students stay focused and energized.

Your donation will keep students in class as well as ensure that students remain engaged while they are in class.
