My Project

In our behavior classroom, there are many functions to different behaviors exhibited by my kids. However, more often than not, students are frustrated because they are hungry.

Hungry students struggle to focus in the classroom.

I like to keep a pantry filled with a variety of snacks students may consume during the school day, after school- before their extra-curricular activities, or at home. By doing so, this allows me to continue building positive relationships with my kids while helping to set them up for a successful school day.

We would really appreciate any support on filling our food pantry with a variety of options for students.
