My Project
The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly impacted learning for my students at our school. The transition to remote, then to hybrid, and then back to face-to-face learning introduced challenges, including limited skills in social interactions and disruptions to daily routines. Many students struggle with managing their emotional stress and anxiety due to the uncertainties that surround the pandemic. The requested resources of snacks will play a crucial role in supporting students' social-emotional and academic well-being.
Proper nutrition is fundamental for cognitive function and emotional regulation, factors essential for effective learning.
By providing a variety of healthy snacks, I aim to address potential nutritional gaps and enhance students' ability to focus and engage in their academic tasks, whether in-person or through virtual platforms.
Moreover, these snacks can serve as a tangible expression of care and support, fostering a sense of normalcy and connection after having experienced a socially-distant learning environment. Creating a positive and nourishing atmosphere with healthy snacks contributes to a holistic approach to education, recognizing the interplay between physical health, emotional well-being, and academic success, especially in the context of the ongoing challenges.
More than three‑quarters 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
