My Project

As many educators know, it can be challenging to stay focused during the school day, especially when students are hungry. My students often struggle to concentrate on their math assignments because they’re distracted by hunger. This affects their ability to complete their work and fully engage with the material. To help solve this, I am requesting donations of snacks to ensure they have the energy and focus they need to succeed.

A small snack break can make a big difference in helping them power through lessons and stay focused on their work.

By providing these snacks, we’ll be creating an environment where they can thrive and feel supported. I want to ensure every student has the opportunity to focus, understand the concepts being taught, and complete their assignments without distraction. When students have the nourishment they need, they’re more likely to engage with the material, ask questions, and take pride in their learning.

Thank you so much for considering a donation to support my students. Any contribution, no matter how small, would go a long way in helping them reach their full potential.
