My Project

The middle school students work hard each day. They overcome many obstacles to succeed at school. We need candy like jolly ranchers and chocolate to use as rewards.

"If you cannot feed a hundred people, then feed just one."- Mother Theresa"

Many of my middle school are growing and get hungry during the school day. These healthy foods will help when those times happen. The snacks, like mango fruit cups, easy Mac, Frosted Flakes and Cinnamon Toast Crunch, can be a quick pick me up between classes. My middle school students will also have Cinnamon Toast Crunch cups available in our classroom pantry so my students can focus on learning without being hungry.
