My Project

My students need delicious, energizing snacks to fuel their brains and bodies! These snacks will feed students' brains and provide them with energy and brain power to get through their lessons and power through their school day. We will also use these snacks for our field trips and activities!

Kids should never go hungry or worry about whether they will have enough food for the day.

These snacks would be great for my English language learning newcomers who are refugees in our small community and have very little. The little I can provide for those who need it during this difficult time would go a long way. I am also requesting a variety of scented gel pens to motivate my students to write in their journals. These are the perfect tools to get them writing and drawing daily! Thank you for supporting my class' needs!
