My Project

Boozhoo,

Miigwech for taking the time to look at what we need in our second grade classroom!

January, February and March are long cold days! We do not get snack every day through our school and our parents already have food insecurities inside their homes. It is hard for families to provide snack for the whole class.

We eat at 11am and by the time the afternoon comes my students are very hungry! With your help, donating money to purchase snacks for my students will help us keep our brain awake during these days.

Again; miigwech for taking the time to read this and being willing to donate to our classroom!
