My Project
I teach in a low economic district. So, I like to be able to provide snacks to my kiddos throughout the day to make sure they have full bellies to focus better and learn more while they are in my classroom. I worry that when they go home, they may not eat, so I like to be able to send snacks home with some of them. I try to keep my room closet stocked, but with a family of my own, sometimes it's a struggle, so any donations would help keep my closet stocked so their bellies will be full.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
