Snacks for Success: Fueling Young Minds Every Day

Help me give my students snacks such as chips, cookies and assorted candies to keep them not only fueled but to use as incentives as well.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Roach's classroom raised $179

My Project

My 9th grade students are energetic, curious, and always ready to learn, but like all teenagers, they also get hungry! Many of them come to class straight from other activities or without having eaten much that day. I want to make sure hunger isn’t a barrier to their focus, participation, or success in the classroom. I’m requesting an assortment of snacks, chips, cookies, and candies that will help my students stay energized and focused throughout the day.

A quick snack can turn a distracted, tired student into an engaged, ready-to-learn one.

These treats won’t just fill stomachs they’ll also help build a positive classroom environment. Offering a snack can be a way to celebrate effort, encourage participation, and show students that I care about their well-being.

By supporting this project, you’re not only providing tasty treats but you’re fueling minds, lifting moods, and helping my students stay on track with their learning.

Students who aren’t hungry are more focused, less distracted, and better able to retain what they learn. Something as small as a snack can make a big difference in their day and in their education.
