Snack Time is the Best Time

Help me give my students snacks. We have an early lunch and have a snack time in the afternoon. There are always at least 5 students who I need to supply a snack for every day.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bartos's classroom raised $250

My Project

This donation will feed my students who do not bring a snack because of financial reasons or if they accidentally forget that day. Kindergarteners have a long day and get hungry around 1:15 p.m. since we have lunch at 11:20 a.m. My goal is to provide a snack time so students are not uncomfortable and have the energy to finish the day strong! My students are sweet and eager to learn. When students are hungry they aren't able to fully apply themselves and work to the best of their abilities.
