My Project

My students come from low-income families, often depending on school for their next meal. Many of my students get hungry throughout the school day because they are not receiving the proper nutrition at home. This hunger is a huge distraction to their academics and contributes an additional layer of stress to their already busy minds. It also prevents students from participating in extracurricular activities, hindering them from building meaningful relationships with their peers. Please help me fill my classroom pantry with snacks that will nourish my students throughout the day, enabling them to put their best efforts forward academically, socially, and emotionally.
