I am requesting snacks my students need to be successful learners! This project is to ensure no student goes hungry during these hard times. Many families are suffering hardships from the current COVID-19 crisis and families of our students have expressed they are unable to afford food at this time. School is not the same and my students sit in one room all day as their teachers travel into the room to teach them different subjects. Students expressed a need for snacks to help keep them alert and motivated to learn, especially after they exercise and play sports in gym class. This project will help my students to have a snack to help them keep focused and learning successfully and have the energy needed before and after their gym workouts! Many students also have expressed a need for a pencil since they have nothing to write with when they come to school.

It is difficult enough to adjust to learning after such a hard school year last year due to the pandemic, where most of my students were learning from home. Having a snack to help my students feel comfortable will put a smile on my students' faces. To also be hungry while working, is not the proper learning environment for any student. These snack items will help my students have the food they need to concentrate on their classwork and strive just like they did before this pandemic. Students did not have gym class last year, so these snacks will help motivate my students to work hard while exercising.
