Throughout the year students will have the opportunity to have a healthy snack or drink as they learn.\r\n\r\nAlso, students will have access to warm drinks when it starts to cool down. In the meantime, they will also be able to have a cool drink in this warm weather to help them stay hydrated. Sometimes students get a bit hungry or just need a pick me up. They will have the ability to do so because of the generosity of the donors. I am so pleased to be able to provide them with a healthy snack to carry them through.\r\n \r\nOverall, we feel loved and supported by all the donors who funded this project.
