My Project

Help my students stay energized throughout their long school day. The school lunch options often lack the variety needed to accommodate all dietary restrictions, leaving many students without adequate nourishment. Additionally, the overcrowded lunch lines force some students to spend their entire break waiting, leaving little to no time to eat.

By providing snacks, you can help fuel their learning and ensure they have the energy to stay focused.

I want my classroom to be a welcoming space where students can stop by, enjoy a small snack, and find a sense of comfort and community. Your support can make a difference in helping them stay nourished and ready to learn!
