My Project

This project will support my high school math students. It will provide them with snacks and drinks to help them stay focused and motivated. We all have difficulty focusing and staying motivated when they are hungry and it is especially true for young growing minds and bodies.

Growing high school students need small snacks throughout the day.

A small snack can make a huge difference in their day. This could be a snack during advisory or during a break in class. In addition, my students are often looking for a drink to help satisfy their thirst. They may have just finished an athletics class or may just be looking for something other than water.

Mrs. Wierszchalek will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 10.
