My Project

As a high school teacher, I am committed to helping my students succeed both academically and personally. However, I’ve noticed that many of my students face challenges when it comes to hunger throughout the school day. Some students do not have lunch until late in the day, which leaves them hungry and struggling to focus in the classes leading up to lunchtime. On the other hand, some students have lunch as early as 10:30 am, and by the time the afternoon rolls around, they are hungry and find it hard to concentrate in their late classes.

A small snack can make all the difference in helping students power through their day with the energy and concentration they need to succeed.

Providing these snacks will give students the chance to stay focused and engaged, regardless of when they eat lunch. It will also help eliminate distractions caused by hunger and give every student an equal opportunity to perform their best in class.

Your donation will help provide these essential snacks, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to stay energized, focused, and successful. Together, we can make a lasting impact on their learning experience!
