My Project

I absolutely love the curiosity, resilience, and individuality my students bring to the classroom every day. They are a vibrant group of learners who approach challenges with determination and inspire me with their creativity. The snacks I’m requesting will play a vital role in their learning by addressing one of the most basic needs: staying focused and energized. Many of my students come to school hungry or have long days filled with rigorous academic and extracurricular demands. Providing healthy snacks will ensure they have the nourishment they need to concentrate, participate actively, and maintain stamina throughout the day.

These specific snacks, such as chips, cookies, fruit snacks, and juice are easy to distribute, minimally disruptive, and provide a quick energy boost.

They will reduce distractions caused by hunger and help my students stay engaged in lessons, group work, and independent study. My goal for this project is to create a classroom environment where every student feels supported, valued, and ready to learn.

What makes my students special is their unique blend of talents, backgrounds, and perspectives. They bring their own stories to the classroom, and it’s a joy to watch them collaborate, grow, and support one another. By ensuring they have access to snacks, I’m not only addressing a practical need but also showing them that their well-being matters—a foundation that fosters a love of learning and a sense of community.
