Full Bellies Equal Full Minds

Funded Aug 13, 2023

I would like to start off by saying thank you for your donation to my project. It is truly inspirational to see how people will still lend a helping hand to help our students. I have students in my classroom who range from those who are less fortunate than others to some who never have to worry about anything. They ALL come to me daily to see if I have any snacks because they are hungry. I see the same students asking for this daily. I didn't tell the kiddos what I was applying for so when I received the boxes and told them what it was, the reaction's that I received was amazing!

Since the project was received, I have noticed a change in some of my students. They are less worried about being hungry and more worried about getting their work done. They also come to me with other concerns, such as hygiene, and I am able to refer them to our schools "care closet". The bond that this helped form is amazing. I feel that we were able to meet some of the needs that students shouldn't have to be concerned about!

Thank you again for helping my students reach the full bellies equals full minds! This has been such an inspirational project for myself. I know the kids are appreciative of it also!!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Strange
