Yummy Yummy in My Tummy!

Help me give my students snacks to help them stay energized and focused while in class,

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Mixon's classroom raised $234

My Project

My students need snacks to remain focused and energized in class. Healthy snacks like these snacks will ensure students will be successful in the classroom because they will have food for their brain. Healthy snacks help stabilize mood by preventing hunger-induced irritability.

These snacks will give my students a boost during their school day.

Snacks can help encourage concentration and re-energize tired students. Healthy snacks like these snacks will ensure students will be successful in the classroom as they are able to focus more when they are not hungry.
