My Project

Please help give my first grade students a variety of snacks for the classroom. Our school is a small, urban school. We are a pre-school through fifth grade school. Our school provides free breakfast, lunch and snacks for students. However, there are days the cafeteria does not provide snacks and students would like a special snack.

Snack time is a very important time of day for my students.

Students rely on a snack to focus on learning or enjoy a snack before going home. We also enjoy snacks for celebrations or classroom parties.
