Snacks for Students!

Help me give my students snacks! My students at our Title I New York City high school are often hungry during the day, and can't focus. I want to have a supply of snacks on hand for them.

My Project

In our school community, we focus on the whole child, not just on their academic performance. Many of our students do not have very stable lives outside of school, and many of them find themselves hungry during class. Students cannot effectively learn if they are hungry! I want to keep a supply of snacks so that my students know they can get something to eat in my class, and do their best work, because they are no longer hungry. My students deserve the greatest chance to be successful. Instead of worrying about their home lives and thinking about getting food at some point during the day, I want them to be able to get a quick snack with me, and then go back to their work.
