My Project

We need snacks to help students stay focused during school. Many students arrive at school hungry each day at school.

We write nurse referrals each school day because a student has a stomach ache, many times it is caused from hunger.

Please help provide snacks for my students and stop kids from being hungry. It is almost impossible to learn anything when you are hungry.

A small snack and a drink of water can make all the difference in the world to a hungry student. Thank you for helping my students.
