Support Student Learning Through Snacks and Prizes!
Help me give my students daily access to nutritious snacks in class and candy that can be used as prizes for positive behaviors and game-based learning.
FULLY FUNDED! Prof. Meli's classroom raised $440
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I work with students of all socioeconomic backgrounds and life experiences. Students regularly come to my class and request food and snacks throughout the day; I never turn a student away, and believe that basic needs must be met before learning can begin.
Students have shown more engagement and participation in class activities and learning when they have access to additional food and snacks.
Healthy snacks can be a game-changer in their daily experience at school.
Be a part of this positive change in student engagement! Students would greatly benefit from your support in this endeavor.
Half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
