My Project

In my high school, many students come from high-poverty backgrounds, facing daily challenges that extend beyond the classroom. Many in my class start the day with crisps and chips. I would like to present them with healthier options for snacking during the day. I believe that providing healthy snacks in the 9-12 classrooms can make a meaningful impact on the well-being and academic performance of our students.

Among others, the advantages of healthier snacks include improved concentration, enhanced energy levels, positive impact on behavior, and of course promotion of healthy lifelong habits.
