My Project

My students need healthy snacks to remain focused and energized during the day. They are often asking for snacks because they are hungry. I have the pleasure of seeing every child every week. We go through snacks quickly!

Healthy snacks will help my students be successful in school.

The children are busy learning, exercising, and playing all day. They burn lots of energy. I love to offer students a variety of snacks they enjoy eating. This project includes some of their favorites like Cheese-It's, pretzels, cookies, and fruit cups.

Ms. Hines PS 18 John G Whittier Grades 3-5
