My Project

Our project is looking for donations to receive food and snacks for out students. When a student is hungry it can become a huge barrier to learning. It causes them to have stomach aches, be tired and distracted. The reusable water bottles are to continue being a a green school and avoid wasting plastic. They will also aid in keeping our students in the classroom, so they do not have to leave for water. As caring teachers, our students are not just our students they are our family. So, this project is to help get our students food that they can eat and actually enjoy, so they are not going the entire day without eating because they do not prefer or like the school lunch. Although, our students are fortunate enough to receive free meals, no student should go without eating and we all have food preferences.
