My Project

As a First Grade teacher I have seen how working snacks for students goes a long way! We call this BRAIN FOOD!

A motivational snack helps students get back on track or refuel during a long lesson!

Please help me ensure my students always have a full belly so that they are ready to learn!

Working in a school with a predominantly low socio-economic status population having snacks on hand for students who either don't have lunch or motivation is just what my classroom needs!

Thank you so much for your time and consideration!
