Snacks for Science

Help me give my students snacks! Sometimes they miss breakfast and other times lunch was too long ago. We all need food to be able to learn.

My Project

I'm writing to you on behalf of the vibrant student community at East High. Our school embraces diversity, welcoming students from various backgrounds, including newcomers to the United States who are still mastering English. Among these students are bright minds eager to excel in AP Biology.

In our classroom, we prioritize hands-on experiments to deepen understanding and ignite a passion for science.

However, I've observed that some students struggle to maintain focus during longer lab sessions due to energy dips. By providing snacks, we can sustain their energy levels and enhance their engagement in learning.

These snacks aren't merely refreshments; they're essential tools for nurturing minds and supporting our students' academic journey. My goal is to create an inclusive environment where every student feels valued and empowered to succeed. At East High, our students' resilience and eagerness to learn in the face of challenges make them truly special.

Your support will not only provide snacks but also contribute to our students' sense of belonging and academic achievement. Your generosity can make a profound difference in the lives of these remarkable students.

Thank you for considering this request.

Ms. Johnston
Grades 9-12
