Some of my students come to school without breakfast, and others may not know when their next meal will be. Having healthy, readily available snacks in our classroom allows me to quietly support students without making them feel embarrassed or singled out.\r\n\r\nWhen a child is hungry, it can be difficult to focus, participate, read, solve a math problem, or simply make it through the school day. A small snack can help a student feel cared for, comfortable, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nYour donation will help me keep our classroom snack supply stocked so that every child who needs one can have a snack, no questions asked.
