Snacks to Help Us Focus

Help me give my students a variety of snacks to help them focus.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Draffen's classroom raised $436

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students need snacks to stay focused and energized during school. Snacks like these will ensure students will be successful in the classroom. There are times when students don't have time for breakfast, or what they have eaten wasn't filling enough. This project will allow me to give students a snack instead of having them wait to eat.

This project will offer students a variety of snacks that will give them a bigger boost during their school day.

Snacks like these will ensure students will be successful in the classroom as they are able to focus more when they are not hungry. Snacks can help encourage concentration and re-energize tired students.
