My Project

This project is for students who need snacks or supplies. Most of my students come from poor communities and often ask for food. Funding this project will help students focus better in class because their immediate need for something to eat will be an easy fix. Students who don't have to worry about their stomach growling can focus on what's most important which is learning. Students need food and hydration to function properly and to have energy to keep active throughout the day. Snacks are good for kids because they help them stay focused at school, especially during testing week. Snacks give them needed nutrients and keep hunger at bay. Food is an essential part of life, and hunger is primal. Students should be able to eat when they are hungry. At a glance, eating during class may not look like such a good idea, but it is beneficial and can help a student in the long run, especially during the testing week!
