Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

Providing snacks to students such as Annie's Organic Variety Pack, Cheddar Bunnies, Oreo, Nutella & Cheddar Squares, Nabisco Sweet Treats Cookie, Goldfish Crackers, and any other healthy snacks during the school day has many benefits and should become a regular practice in schools. When students are hungry or undernourished, it can negatively impact their ability to focus, learn, and behave in class. Snacks can provide the fuel students need to get through the day and make the most of their learning.

Offering snacks helps ensure students have adequate nutrition to support their growing minds and bodies.

Many of our students rely on school meals for a substantial portion of their daily nutrition. However, meals are spaced several hours apart, and it can be difficult for students to stay focused when feeling hungry between meals. Appropriate snacks fill this gap and provide energy to power through lessons.

Additionally, many families struggle with food insecurity, meaning students may not get enough nutritious food outside of school. Snacks at school can help fill this nutritional void. Ensuring students have adequate nourishment to learn should be a priority. Providing snacks to students supports their growth, focus, and academic success.
