Fuel for Higher Learning

Help me give my students fuel to succeed. Many of my students arrive at school hungry and struggle to focus without a quick snack to carry them through the morning or afternoon.

My Project

I love my students for their resilience, curiosity, and eagerness to learn, even when faced with challenges. They bring joy, energy, and a unique perspective to the classroom every day. However, many of them come to school hungry, making it difficult to focus and engage fully in their learning.

Providing snacks ensures they have the energy they need to stay attentive, participate in lessons, and make the most of their education.

Something as simple as a granola bar or crackers can make a world of difference in their ability to concentrate, complete their work, and feel cared for. Your support helps create a nurturing learning environment where every child has the opportunity to thrive. Thank you for helping my students reach their full potential!
