My Project

For many years whether it was from the kindness of DonorsChoose Donors or out of my own pocket, I have provided snacks to my students who often come to school hungry due to food insecurity. Sometimes they may not eat or they are allowed a certain amount of food which for a growing teenager who burns energy, sometimes its just not enough.

I provide snacks throughout the day and I am always extra prepared during regents exams time.

Students have to sit for long hours and have limited movement so I will give them snacks before they take the exam so they can snack on them when they are ready. I am fully aware how food is connected to concentration and not having enough food can result in poor test performance.

My students are always grateful for me being able to provide them with snacks so I make sure that my draw is never empty.
