Being able to offer my students a snack or meal in a time when needed is a very helpful thing. This allows me to feed my students when they have missed a meal for one reason or another and offer a snack when at times lunch or breakfast is not enough. Doing this project for my students was very important to me because sometimes what is being served my students will not eat. Serving my students in their best interest is what I do best.\r\n Normally, I would have to purchase all their food items myself and at times this can be hard. I have my own family and sometimes I just don't have enough money to spread to my classroom the way I want to have what they need. The VERY generous donors on Donors Choose have made feeding my students possible once again! For your heart felt words of encouragement and your donations, We thank you, I thank you and if I haven't said it Thank you. You have made starting this year a great success!
