My Project

School, Success, & Snacks

My students are extremely unique!

They come from various cultures, backgrounds, and countries; including Africa, Ukraine, Venezuela, Columbia, Dominican Republic, Honduras, and Jamaica. Some of the students include students who are new to the school, state, and America. The majority of the students are from low-income families. Nonetheless, the students enjoy learning and growing with each other!

Sometimes students do not have as much access to food as we would like. Many students struggle to get through the school day and most of the time it is because they could use a little snack before or after the breakfast and lunch periods. Students are more engaged and likely to be successful during academic tasks when they do not have empty bellies.

The specific items I am requesting for my students include juice pouches, pop tarts, pringles, fruit snacks, popcorn, cheez-its, potato chips, etc. These items will make a difference in their learning by providing the extra boost they may need to get through their academic day successfully.

The overall goal for this project is for students to experience success in school with a little motivation from snacks. School, Success & Snacks!
