My Project

If my project is funded, I plan to use the materials provided to feed provide my students with a simple snack or meal. Some students come to school late and breakfast is already over and l often hear them ask for breakfast and get turned away. When students are not hungry they are able to do better academically in school. I think every child deserves to eat. I will also continue to bring food and keep it in my library and feed kids daily to make sure that they are fed. My student make me smile.
