My Project

These snacks will provide healthy options for 30 Title I students who typically do not have their after-school snack options. Healthy snacks will provide a fundamental need to free their brain & body for learning after a long day of school.

We have created an opportunity for much-needed SEL, as students are desperately seeking healthy connections.

STEM learning is our strategy! The STEM activities will help us create cooperative learning opportunities and increase engagement.

Our Title I students are incredibly diverse learners who represent nations across the world. When you're in the class, you hear many different accents and see students diligently making efforts to connect with one another, closing gaps in language and learning. It is wonderful!

Grades 3-5
