My Project

Food and snacks play a pivotal role in enhancing the learning experience for students studying after school. We are requesting food and snacks to provide to students to support their sustained energy, and mental focus, contributing significantly to their academic progress.

By providing these options, the aim is to reduce distractions caused by hunger, allowing students to remain focused on their academic tasks.

The students participating in this afterschool program are indeed special. Their commitment to extending their learning beyond regular school hours demonstrates a commendable dedication to academic growth.
