My Project

My students are all high-school-aged. These snacks will be available for any students in my school grade 9th that need one. Some students may not be able to afford their own snacks, giving a little extra effort at lunch activities or PE, or just not have had time to get enough to eat at home or at lunch.

My goal is that no student should go hungry and they have a great focus while in class.

The fruit snacks, assorted chips, and cookies will definitely help my students to remain focused in class but also help them to fill their tummy. Thank you in advance for helping my students not only be able to focus on learning but also not be hungry throughout the course of the day!
