My Project

The use of pencils and sharpeners are also key items that are needed to help with the success of our students. Hunger is another situation that can causes a child to loose focus. Thus, providing these small snacks on hand will have the students not worrying about what they have to eat or watching the time when nutritional break will be and/or lunch time. Having these supplies in the classroom limits student's distraction; and having to focus on the materials that they need to work on, and not miss important instructions.

By donating to this project, you will help to improve and increase the students attention and focus as well as their academic achievement.

Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not. In addition, they will not have to focus on their hunger but that academic task that is at hand.
