Many of my students are unable to eat breakfast at home in the morning and come to school on an empty stomach. Additionally, due to our overcrowded lunches, most students do not get to eat lunch. I like having snacks available in my classroom for students who are not able to eat otherwise. My students depend on these snacks to help get them through the day. As we all know, a hungry brain is not able to learn at optimal levels. I truly believe that the addition of healthy snacks to my classroom will ensure my students are able to achieve academic excellence not only in my class but in all of their classes. Many of the families I serve are struggling to put food on the table due to job loss as a results of the pandemic, and providing these snacks is one way to help not just my students but our community at large. My students and I thank you for your consideration of this project.
