My Project

As we begin the spring semester of the new year I am excited to see my new students. I love the excitement of meeting new students and getting to know each of them. I enjoy teaching students science and I am amazed at their willingness to learn and achieve success. Before class, after class, and after school I have students inquiring if I have any snacks because they are hungry. I do not want my students to not be able to concentrate and be their best because they are feeling hunger pains. I want to ensure that my students have the opportunity to obtain a snack for class, tutoring, or their after school activities and not go hungry. I am requesting a variety of snacks, bottled water, and oatmeal so that snacks will be available to my students. Through your generosity my students will not have to go hungry throughout the day and be able to concentrate while learning in class, tutoring after school, or participating in their athletic activity. Thank you again for time and consideration in supporting my students and our classroom project.
