My Project
My students are bright, energetic second graders who come to school each day ready to learn. But as the day goes on, their energy and focus can fade especially when their tummies are empty. Many of my students come from low-income households, and for some, the food they get at school may be their most consistent meals.
This project will help me provide a daily snack to support their health, attention, and academic success.
When students are nourished, they can stay focused during lessons, participate actively in discussions, and feel more confident and comfortable in the classroom.
I’m requesting individually packaged healthy snacks such as granola bars, fruit cups, crackers, and trail mix. These snacks will be offered in a safe, clean, and welcoming way,no questions asked.
A simple snack can make a big difference in a child’s day. With your support, we can ensure no student in our classroom has to learn while feeling hungry. Thank you for helping us fuel our learning and growth!
