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 Project
In our high school, mental health is a priority, especially during these challenging times. As a teacher, I see firsthand the impact that stress and anxiety can have on my students' well-being and academic performance. I want to create a supportive environment where students can feel safe, valued, and cared for. One way to do this is by providing healthy snacks and drinks that can help boost their energy, improve concentration, and promote overall well-being.
My students are amazing young individuals who face numerous challenges both inside and outside the classroom.
They are resilient, hardworking, and always eager to learn. However, many of them struggle with anxiety, stress, and other mental health issues that can make it difficult to focus on their studies. By providing nutritious snacks and drinks, I aim to create a more supportive and nurturing environment that can help them thrive.
Nutritious snacks can help reduce stress and anxiety, improving students' overall mental health. Healthy food options can provide the necessary energy and focus needed for academic success. Offering snacks and drinks can make students feel cared for and valued, fostering a sense of belonging and community.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
