Snack Time

Help me give my students snacks to help them get through the day without worrying about being hungry.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shirvis's classroom raised $967

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Many of our students come to school hungry and many do not like our school lunch. This leaves many of our kids hungry throughout the day at school. These snacks will be used during school hours while working in small groups and during class time to help curb their hunger. Many of our students are unable to bring snacks from home and this would help to supply food for them. The paper will be used for students mental health by allowing them to create and draw while enjoying their snacks!
