Snacks Needed!

Snacks for the school day . . . We are in need! A large number of students at South Graham Elementary are not able to bring a snack from home to eat during snack time. For classes with a long span of time between meals, schoolwork may suffer because hungry children have difficulty concentrating.
We spend about $200 a month on snacks. Given the ongoing need, we could use help.
