My Project

I am asking for support to help get my students snacks to have at the last hour of their school day. My students eat lunch at 10:30 in the morning and they are hungry by 2:00. It breaks my heart to see that over half of my students don’t have snacks. They tell me that their parents tell them that they do not have money to buy snacks. I think that all students deserve to have a snack. If you can support me with this project, I won’t have to see all of the sad faces that I have seen at snack time. I am a firm believer that it takes a village to support students. I want to thank you in advance for assisting my snacking bees.
