My Project

Our middle school advisory program is a vital space where students come together to build relationships, set goals, and foster a supportive community. I’ve noticed that students often come to advisory hungry and distracted, which can make it harder for them to engage fully in the activities and discussions.

A snack can give our students the energy they need to focus and participate, and it creates a welcoming, inclusive environment.

By supporting this project, you are directly investing in the well-being and success of our students. Your generosity will help us create a more energized, engaged, and connected advisory community.
