Students Must Be Healthy to Be Educated

Help me give my students full stomachs and not be hungry to perform well while at school.

Mrs. KIRBY Theodore Lester Elementary School

Florence, SC Grades PreK-2

My Project

Every student deserves the opportunity to be ready to learn each and every day. Food gives everyone energy. Being healthy allows for a perfect start for successful learning/educating.

Each and every student deserves to be healthy to be educated.

If you are educated, then you will be healthy. The students at our school need to make sure they have fuel for their brains. With your help the students can have full stomachs and full minds to allow them to perform higher and function without any distractions. We don't want hunger to be in the way of any child learning in school. The juice boxes, water, Goldfish crackers, and other snacks will greatly help our students keep their stomachs full.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
