Snacks Lead to Success

Help me give my students snacks so they don't go hungry throughout the day.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Charder's classroom raised $210

My Project

Ever try to work while hungry? It is nearly impossible. I offer snack to my class daily, but there are always a few students who don't bring it in. Often, those students struggle to stay focused throughout the day or have some behavior problems because they are hungry.

It is such an easy fix.

So thats where snacks come in. Who knew a little bag of chips would go such a long way in helping students stay focused and on task for the school day. Having a fully belly, allows students to be ready to have a full mind.
