My Project

I love my students’ energy, curiosity, and resilience. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring unique perspectives to the classroom, making every day a new opportunity to grow together. Despite the challenges many of them face, they show up eager to learn and give their best.

The snacks I’m requesting will provide a critical boost in helping my students stay focused, energized, and engaged throughout the school day.

Hunger can be a big distraction, especially during those mid-morning or afternoon slumps. Having access to healthy snacks will allow them to concentrate better and actively participate in lessons, creating a more productive and positive learning environment.

My goal for this project is to ensure that every student has what they need to succeed, starting with their basic needs. By addressing hunger, we can foster a classroom environment where learning and growth take center stage.

What makes my students special is their ability to persevere, support one another, and embrace challenges. Providing them with snacks is a simple way to show that we care and are invested in their success, both academically and personally.
