Snacking for Little People

Help me give my students the afternoon energy boost to finish the day. These snacks make a long day better.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Searles's classroom raised $939

This project is fully funded

My Project

My little people are in need of having a small survival snack to make it through the day. Their Pre-K day starts with breakfast at 7:15 a m and lunch is from 10:15 to 10:45, there are no other food breaks for my little people until 1:45. That is if they have brought a snack from home, but in this community not many students have the opportunity to bring additional food from home to school.

This project will help to supplement those students that are in need of an extra boost of energy for their afternoon activities.

This project will make for student successful thinking on our afternoon stations.
