My Students

My classroom contains an array of students from different, yet similar, backgrounds and all walks of life.

Like many children in South Atlanta, my students face a seemingly overwhelming economic challenge, which is evident by the fact that 100% of the students at my school receive free breakfast and lunch.

My Project

The items from this project will be provided to students who display a need for food and water. I have students who either do not eat the school lunch, or they do not bring a lunch or snack from home to compliment their school lunch that was provided. Often times they are still hungry and unable to focus. Therefore, my desire is to be able to provide a snack to the students who are in need so that they can have some type of nutrition in their bodies throughout the day, and most importantly so that they can focus on learning and not worry about being hungry.

The snacks will also be used as a reward to encourage student participation and engagement.
