My Project

Having a snack when hunger strikes helps students focus on school. Students also use available peppermints hard candy to help stay focused on their class. Our students may struggle with hunger at home and a snack will go a long way to combat hunger.

Help these kids reach their goals and focus on their education!

Students use their favorite snacks as motivation to earn tickets to "buy" the snacks during their day. Peppermint has been shown to assist with focus when our teens come in sleepy or tired from the night before. Mints are a popular alternative to caffeine drinks and don't require the use of their tickets.
