Snack Attack!

Help me give my students a variety of snacks to have during learning at school!

Jackson, MS Grades 3-5

My Project

I teach at a Title I school in Jackson, MS. Most of my students come from low-income families and/or poverty stricken homes. When you teach kids that come from those circumstances, it is super important to make sure their basic needs are met first.

This is why I am to teach the whole child.

That includes not only teaching them the content, but making sure they are not hungry, have clean clothes, and other basic needs.

Help me give my students snacks to have when they are hungry as well as to use as incentives.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
