My Project

Before students can remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create, their basic needs should be met.

Our kids are growing teens who have a lot of calorie requirements.

While our students individually might have different needs, one universal need is food. Sometimes students might not have consistent access, so having snacks ready helps with that aching feeling in the stomach, with feeling safe in school, and with focusing on the learning objectives of the day.

Some students might have walked out the door that morning without having breakfast, need a snack around lunch time, or something to take with them at the end of the day. I'd like to stock my cupboard with snacks, available to students without question.
