My Project

There is a significant amount of time between breakfast and lunch during our school day. I've noticed that some of my students get hungry midway through, and some of them even skip breakfast. Since hunger affects their ability to learn, I'm requesting healthy snacks that can be provided to them on a daily basis.

A snack at the right time can make a huge difference in a young student.

With snacks to eat, my students will be able to enjoy an important energy boost that will allow them to have successful learning experiences between breakfast and lunchtimes. These snacks would also be provided to students who did not have a chance to eat breakfast. Imagine trying to learn something new while your belly rumbles from hunger... it is nearly impossible! Some of my students haven't brought snacks in to alleviate their hunger in the middle of our long mornings. Your donation would provide a critical need to my students and subsequently put them in the best position to succeed in school.
