Fuel for Learning: Snacks to Support Student Focus and Motivation

My Project

As a high school teacher, I see firsthand how hunger can be a major distraction for students. Whether it's because they missed breakfast, didn't have lunch, or are just pushing through a long day, a quick snack can make a world of difference in helping them stay focused, energized, and ready to learn.

I work with an amazing group of students who are navigating not only the challenges of school but also life outside of it—and for some, that includes food insecurity.

I’ve been providing snacks from my own pocket, but it’s become increasingly difficult to keep up with the need. I want to create a consistent stash of healthy, individually packaged snacks that students can access when they need a boost, or as a reward for positive behavior and effort.

This project will help me stock my classroom with granola bars, crackers, trail mix, fruit snacks, and other easy, shelf-stable items that are simple to grab and go. Having these on hand will let students focus on their learning instead of their hunger. It also gives me a positive way to recognize and celebrate their efforts.
