My Project

I absolutely love my school and my position, this is the best career I could ever dream of. Students in my school all receive free breakfast and lunch and are eager to learn. Our school teaches children in grades pre-k through fifth grade and we want to provide as many educational, hands-on activities and projects as we can.

The snacks that I am requesting will provide that little something to take away those hunger pains during the day and also during my after-school programs.

My students love any type of snack: pretzels, cheese its, mints, popcorn and hot chocolate.

Without your help, I wouldn't have the snacks to help give our students the extra food that will help them stay focused and their stomachs from grumbling until they can have a meal. Our students appreciate everything they would be grateful for any donation.

Thank you very much for considering my project. I would greatly appreciate any support that you can give to my students and me.
