My Project

Students often come to my class and ask for something to eat or drink. Not having means to purchase drinks has proven to be an extraordinary inconvenience for students. I often share whatever I have with our students, because many students do not have money to purchase drinks from the vending machines.

Help me to make sure that students have healthy drinks and snacks during the school day.

Some students are on campus the entire day without anything to drink. I'm grateful that students feel comfortable enough to ask me for something to drink.
