Snacks for Kindergarten

Help me give my students snacks like pretzels and goldfish crackers to help them stay focused. My Kindergarten students will need to adjust to a new school schedule with set eating times and need access to snacks.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Please help me give my Kindergarten students full bellies and hearts as they embark on their educational journey. Many young students come to school being hungry and needing attention to basics. Although my school provides free breakfast and lunch to students, we don't have snacks provided for our scholars. Since every day is packed with learning, hunger can be a huge barrier. It is hard to focus on an empty stomach! This project will ensure students have access to snacks like pretzels, goldfish crackers and fruit snacks to help them focus and be successful all day long.
