My Project

I am so very blessed to teach the smallest and arguably cutest students in our school building. Though they may be small in size they make up for it with their big personalities and even bigger opinions on food.

Snacks play a very important role in making sure our classroom is a safe place for everyone because not all of my students have access to a steady and reliable food source outside of school.

I have an open door policy when it comes to eating in the classroom, and my school babies know that if they tell me they are hungry, I am going to make sure I find them something to eat.

Unfortunately, my options for extra snacks include things left over from previous days or things that I purchase myself with my weekly grocery haul. This can be a problem as I have some of the pickiest eaters in town and a limited supply to work with. The leftover snacks are usually leftover because they were not well liked the first go around, and my paycheck and personal expenses limit what I am able to purchase myself. It would be such a gift to be able to have a closet filled to the brim with delicious treats for my sweet school babies so that no child ever has to leave my room hungry!
