Healthy Snacking and Mindful Eating

My students need an assortment of healthy snacks (raisins, nuts, pretzels, and juices) to help them stay energized, full, and focused on success and learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Robinson's classroom raised $503

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students attend a pre-kindergarten through fifth grade elementary school in New York City. Our school is located in an area of the South Bronx with a very high concentration of poverty.

Most, if not all, of my students are eligible for free lunch.

They are a hard working group of first graders who are persistent, and determined to do well in school. They are a group of hard workers who need essential resources to help them do their best.

"Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much." Helen Keller.

My Project

Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are." ~ Jean Anthelme Brillant-Savarin

My students are a curious and energetic group of fourth graders who seem to become more focused and inspired after recess when they are giving healthier snacking options.

They attend a Title I elementary school in New York City. Our school is located in the South Bronx - in an area with a very high concentration of poverty. Most, if not all, of my students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

My students are becoming more conscious of their bodies and what they are putting inside of them. When asked what items they would like to have to create their own trail mixes, they said, "sunflower seeds, raisins, fruit, and nuts". They understand how important snacking is and say they want healthier items to "boost their brain power." Many say that it is often harder to concentrate when they are hungry and just need a little snack to do their best thinking when schools are closed during holiday breaks, or on weekend.They say that having a healthier selection of items to choose from would expose them to new foods and inspire them to eat healthier. Your generous donations to this project will provide my students with creative options for healthy snacks that they can take home and enjoy. These healthy snacks will help them develop stronger bodies and provide essential nutrients that boost brain power, too!

They say that they would prefer making and eating trail mixes over potato chips, candy bars and sugary drinks.
