Help me give my students energy to get through their day. Many of my students come from low-income homes and come to school hungry. When students are hungry, they struggle to focus and participate in class.

My Project
When students come to school hungry and are forced to wait until lunch for their first meal, it can be difficult for a student to be engaged and participate in class. Many of the students in my classroom come from low-income homes who cannot afford to donate to the snack fund in my classroom. I try to have healthy filling options on hand for students to access to help get them through the day, such as crackers (a student favorite), veggie straws, granola bars, and fruit snacks. While some of my students try to help contribute the bulk has fallen onto me. Please help support this endeavor in my special education classroom
More than half of students from low‑income households
