Our 4th grade lunch is at 12:30. Students arrive at school at 7:10, and this is a very long time without a snack. I have noticed that my students struggle to learn when their bellies grumble and need something. I allow students to bring a healthy snack to eat late in the morning. However, for some of my students, finances do not allow their parents to provide daily snacks.\r\n\r\nThis project helps provide snacks to those students who are unable to bring one.\r\nTeaching is not all about math and reading. Sometimes, it is about providing students with basic needs, and this project does just that.","fullyFundedDate":1776649246562,"projectUrl":"project/please-help-hungry-bellies-struggle-to/9976403/","projectTitle":"Please Help!
