Snacking at School

Help me give my students snacks to help them get through their day!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Pongratz's classroom raised $203

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students come from a variety of different economic backgrounds with over 50% of our students receiving free lunch. Our school is also one of the most ethnically diverse schools in Queens. Students speak a multitude of languages including English, Spanish, Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Arabic.

My Project

Over 50% of our school receives free lunch. Nothing is harder than learning while you are hungry. When it is snack time, some students are not able to bring in a snack.

These snacks will help students stay focused on learning instead of being distracted from a growling stomach.

Students will be able to chose a snack from my snack bin. These snacks will allow my students have a quick snack and continue with their task at hand. All of these snacks are individually wrapped, which is important during our COVID epidemic.

Thank you so much for your support!

Ms. Pongratz PS 175 Lynn Gross Discovery Grades PreK-2
