My Project

My students come to my room, daily, hungry, as they do not get enough to eat at home. While they receive free lunches at our district, it is not enough to fill their empty bellies.

This project will help them be able to focus on academics.

It is hard for students to concentrate on learning when their basic needs, such as hunger, are not met. Your generosity towards this project will help me provide my students with snacks thereby helping them learn throughout the day. Thank you for your kindness in supporting my students.
