Stay Focused and Have a Treat

Help me give my students healthy snack options to help them focus on their learning goals.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Finocchiaro's classroom raised $375

This project is fully funded

My Project

Having snacks readily available in my classroom will help my students focus on their learning and not their growling bellies. Many of my students come to school hungry and have difficulty focusing on lessons and their independent work because they want to eat something. I want to help my students meet the necessary kindergarten standards, while also keeping them fed. Not to mention I want them to have the energy to be able to be a kid at recess!

Hunger can distract children from learning, and help me keep mine on the track to success!

Thank you for supporting my project and my student's academics. You are helping my students become their best selves and have a great school year!
