My Project

During my first year of teaching one of the most common questions I've gotten from students is if I have snacks in my classroom. Many students of mine skip or miss breakfast, making them hungry hours before their lunch!

It is important to fuel students growing bodies and brains in order for them to be functional and focused learners.

I believe the best way to learn is when all of your needs are met, especially your need for food! I would like to supply my students with healthy snacks in my classroom to curb hunger and nourish their growing bodies! With full stomachs, my students will be able to learn to their full potential!
