My Project

Throughout the day my students may get hungry and need brain food to replenish their energy. It is hard for them to concentrate on their learning if they have hungry tummies. I really want my students to be able to focus through the day and sometimes, they just need that extra boost.

My students need snacks to keep up their energy levels as they work hard learning throughout the day.

I have lots of students that don't always have access to snacks and it's important to keep up their energy!
