This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
We are a Title I school surrounded by a warm and caring community. Our students come from a variety of different economic and cultural backgrounds, with over ninety percent receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
I call my students my eager-beaver learners.
They love to be challenged and love learning new things. They proudly wear our school slogan Believe, Achieve, Succeed as an inspiration to all students. Each year, my students collect food and toys during the holidays to make sure that every kid has a memorable holiday season.
My Project
After running, jumping, climbing and hopping on the playground I can hear the roar of their tummies just as we are about to end our school day. I work in a low-income neighborhood.
When my students get home, there are no snacks for them to eat until mom comes home to prepare dinner.
I would like to give my students a snack before they leave school. This project will allow me to purchase a variety of snacks to give them an energy boost that will sustain them until an adult gets home to prepare a nutritious meal for them to eat. Donations to this project will improve my students' ability to concentrate on their homework assignments, stop the hunger pangs and provide increased energy to concentrate on their homework activity.
By providing a good snack at the end of the day, it not only ensures my kids stay full, but it also helps them learn good eating habits like eating appropriate amounts and only when they're hungry.
