My Project

“Start by doing what is necessary; then do what is possible; and suddenly, you are doing the impossible," said Francis of Assisi. When we take the time to think about it, nothing is really impossible. For this project, we are asking for snacks to fuel up our scholars all day and fill our snack box. Learners will receive from the snack box a treat to relieve the mid-day hunger.

The school day is long and a snack right in the middle sometimes is just the game changer needed to bring the focus back to life and make proficiency and the joy of learning a reality again.

With your assistance, we will be able to uplift learners, give them a boost, energize them and keep them focused on discovering, dreaming, inquiring, creating, inventing, building our tomorrow today.
