My Project

A snack throughout the day would ensure that my students are successful in the classroom.

Snacks are a great energy source for students until lunch.

These snacks will ensure that my students are successful in the classroom, and they will be able to focus on their work, and not hunger. Snack breaks will encourage concentration and re-energize tired students. A tasty treat will motivate students to do their best. Food and water is the energy and confidence booster my students need during the busy, long school day.

Help me give my students snacks for everyday learning, social, and emotional growth.
