My Students

I teach 5th grade in Spartanburg, SC. We are a Title 1 school and this year I will be teaching all subjects and I want to use many hands-on activities. My goal is to teach children to love learning and help them succeed not only in the classroom but in life. I love teaching them the importance of staying hydrated and eating healthy snacks.

My Project

I would like to provide them with bottles of water and snacks, if they forget them one day. Please help me give my students a variety of snacks and water for school and distance learning incentives due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Students are not able to drink from water fountains at school. My students would appreciate a variety of snacks and water to help keep them strong and healthy.

With all the daily changes going on I don't want students to feel stressed if they forget something like a snack or water bottle.

They don't need the added stress and need to be in a mindset to learn.
