My Project

The purpose of a snack for students in school is to provide a small burst of energy between meals, helping to maintain focus and concentration in class by preventing hunger pangs and keeping blood sugar levels stable, allowing them to learn more effectively; essentially acting as a bridge between larger meals throughout the day. Existing data suggests that children who eat a more balanced diet including snacks are healthier and often better learners. Proper nutrition helps children have fewer absences and behave better in school, resulting in fewer disruptions in the classroom. We are asking for snacks for our students.
