My Project

This project will help my students stay healthy and focused on their learning by preventing the amount of hungry scholars throughout the day.

Once this project for snacks is funded, I plan to incorporate snack time into my daily schedule.

My goal is to get the scholars into a routine of having a small snack to keep them on track. Your donation of fruit snacks, apple juice, cheez-it-crackers, and other healthy snacks and materials for our studio will help students stay energized throughout their day. My students are exceptional because they always try their best in any situation.
