My Project

Students from my school are economically disadvantaged. At my school we have adopted block scheduling which means long days and often come to school with some home issues and or they are just hungry and thirsty.

Oftentimes a little snack or sip of water or juice is all they need to feel appreciated and to get those creative juices moving until lunch time.

With this extra nourishment, students will be able to focus on their creativity, imagination and ingenuity. Having a small fridge will also allow me to keep it filled year long with beverages to last the year.

I am asking for your generosity to help provide some nourishing snacks and drinks to turn their day around in the classroom.
