Help me give my students Help access to healthy snacks for improved focus and well-being.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Pichardo's classroom raised $719
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My students are energetic, curious learners who thrive when they feel supported and nourished. Many of them face challenges that impact their focus and energy throughout the day. By providing healthy snacks, I aim to create a classroom environment where every child has the fuel they need to stay engaged and excel in their studies.
These snacks will help improve concentration, reduce midday fatigue, and foster a sense of care and support within our classroom.
My goal is to ensure that no student is distracted by hunger and that they can focus on their learning and growth.
Each student brings unique qualities to our classroom, and this project will help nurture their potential by ensuring they are physically and mentally prepared to succeed. Your support will make a lasting impact on their well-being and education.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
