My Project

Snacks like chips and candy provide a quick energy boost, helping students stay focused and engaged throughout the school day. Many students come to class hungry, and having a small snack can prevent distractions caused by hunger, allowing them to concentrate better on their lessons. The goal is to ensure that students have access to snacks that keep them energized and ready to learn. Our students are bright, resilient, and full of potential. They come from diverse backgrounds, often facing challenges beyond the classroom, yet they show up every day ready to learn and grow.
