My Project

Often scholars come to school hungry and have a hard time focusing on their learning. Even though scholars eat free breakfast, some don't like to eat in front of other scholars and some just bypass breakfast not knowing the importance of it. To keep my students fed and energized, I've decided to give out free snacks and water to my students throughout the day. In addition to snacks, I use candy occasionally as an incentive for my students. I want to make sure they are their best selves.

Snacks and water are the number one way to the hearts and brains of the students in my class.

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 scholars because they help them stay focused at school give them needed nutrients, and keep hunger at bay. Food is an essential part of life, and hunger is primal. 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. By donating to this project you will help me to provide Yummy Snacks To Fill My Scholars Tummies!!!!
