My Project

Today our 2nd grade students are in need of snacks to eat throughout the day. Often times students performance is directly related to their hungry. We as teachers can not expect our students to perform daily tasks when they are hungry. We are asking for help in fueling out students with snacks so they can perform to their best ability.

It is a know fact when students are well nourished they are able to perform to their fullest capacity.

Being fed throughout the day enhances student performance and enables them to learn better.
