My Project

I work at a Title I school with a high ESL population.

I try to have a snack every day for my students.

The school only provides a snack twice a week.

I feel that it helps the students do well in class. They have a full belly and that is one less thing that they have to worry about.

Since we are a Title I school, it is hard for parents to afford to send snacks to school for the entire classroom. I want to take that burden off of them.

Please help get my classroom some brain food!
