My Project

All of our students at our school are not fortunate enough to bring in a snack daily. The gap between meals are very long, and snacks and juice help replenish energy levels to avoid dips in blood sugar that can lead to fatigue and difficulty concentrating

Students need snacks at school because they provide a necessary energy boost throughout the day, helping to maintain focus and concentration in class by preventing hunger pangs, which can negatively impact learning ability and behavior; essentially, a healthy snack fuels the brain and keeps kids alert during extended periods of study.

Children are still growing and need regular nourishment throughout the day to support their development.
