My Project

My students are dedicated, determined, and eager to succeed. They arrive at school every day eager to learn and put their best foot forward. My students attend a Title I school, and many of them come from low-income families. My students spend the most of their days at school, and it is common for them to be tired and unable to focus in the afternoons.

I want to provide my students with snacks to help them stay focus during the school day.

The snacks will be placed in our snack cart, where students can grab a snack to help them focus while learning in class. My students enjoy learning math, and I want to help them maintain that enthusiasm by providing snacks that will satisfy their appetite and increase their concentration.
