My Project

For years, I have been a teacher whose students felt comfortable enough to ask for the things that they needed. Any student on the campus, whether I taught the students or not, would come to me for their basic needs. Those students may be hungry and need a snack.

My goal is to provide my students with snacks to help them make it through the day.

If I have snacks and my students are hungry, then I would just share them with them. I continue to share my lunch, my favorite things in my class, and my fruit.
