The Breakfast Shuffle

Help me give my students breakfast when they arrive late and miss breakfast.

My Project

Many of my students arrive tardy and miss out on school provided breakfast. They are often hungry and did not eat at home.

I would like to provide quick breakfast bars, fruit and milk in a classroom fridge to provide breakfast and snacks to help them stretch to the next meal.

This way they can engage in learning and be less distracted by hunger pains. It would also benefit students to have a freezer in my room to have ice packs stored there and less back and forth to the nurses' office.
