My Project

Our school has the most amazing students! They are eager to learn and have so much to offer the world. The students in my school are hungry for many things including academic learning, community involvement, and connection to others. Unfortunately, they are also literally hungry, with many not having the food to fuel their bodies.

My students will NO LONGER receive free breakfast and lunch as they did during the last two school years of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many families in our community are still struggling to make financial ends meet. This project will allow students to have snacks throughout the school day and increase their academic potential.
