My Project

I like my students the most for their determination and eagerness to win their games. What I especially admire about them is that when they fail, they try again. They will reevaluate how they can improve for the upcoming game. Two days per week, my students travel to away games, and we frequently return to school late.

My students need to stay fueled before the games to help them perform at their best.

We need these nutritious snacks so that they get the nutrients they require to perform at their highest level. Slim Jims, peanut butter crackers, and mixed nuts are excellent sources of protein, which aids my kids' muscular tone and energy levels. The mixed fruits and fruit snack are healthy sugar sources that will aid in replenishing depleted electrolytes. The popcorn is an excellent pregame snack that is low in calories and additional carbohydrates.
