Snacks are Essential for My Kindergarteners!

Help me give my students delicious snacks to power them through school days!

My Students

I teach a class of 24 amazing kindergartners who are eager to learn and deserve endless resources, experiences, and opportunities. They come from different backgrounds, have a wealth of experiences, and have a lot to contribute to our diverse learning community. They are eager for knowledge and engaging opportunities to learn.

My children delight in activities that engage their minds and bodies, and they look forward to what each day of the exciting kindergarten world brings them.

I have a very diverse population at my school and in my classroom with at least 50% learning English as their second language. I teach at one of the most diverse schools in the nation! It is my job to inspire and motivate students in a variety of ways that reach the whole child.

Many students come with challenges including ADD, ADHD, and autism, and it is my job to reach, teach, inspire, and love them all!

My Project

My students need delicious, energizing snacks to fuel their brains and bodies!

These snacks including graham crackers and biscuits will fuel their brains and provide them with energy and brainpower to get through their lessons and power through their school day.

Kids should never go hungry or have to worry about if they will have enough food for the day. The little I can provide for those who need it during this difficult time would go a long way. Let's put smiles on their faces and bellies with some yummy snacks!
