My Project

This project is focused on snacks for the students to help them get through their day of learning without having to be focused on hunger pains or stomach discomfort. When a student is hungry, the brain focusses on that need which does not allow the student to focus on learning.

Kids need to eat often so that they can successfully learn.

Our brain focuses on our survival needs before anything else. Having food available to the students anytime they get hungry throughout their day of learning is vital.
