My Project

This project will help give my students some snacks to help them focus and learn successfully. Students are more open to learning when they have a full belly. It is always necessary to have a snack available for students. I want my students to know they can always pass by my office to pick up a snack throughout the day, especially after their gym class.

"It's very hard to concentrate when your stomach is rumbling." – Shania Twain

My students expressed a need for snacks to help keep them alert and motivated to learn, especially after they exercise and play sports in gym class. Since we have a large population of students, snacks seem to disappear from my office. This is why I am asking for a supply of snacks such as Lay's potato chip variety pack, breakfast bars, and Pop-Tarts.

A snack is such an important part of a student's day. They get even hungrier after working out. My students are playing soccer in gym class at the moment. They are even more excited since soccer is a very popular sport in their home countries and watching the FIFA games make playing it even more fun for them. These high-impact sports cause a lot of them to come to me starving. Not having a snack available to them makes my heart hurt for them. Since the weather is getting nicer, students go outside for gym class. They love being in the schoolyard and playing with more enthusiasm. Now more than ever, they need food to regain their energy after 45 minutes of working out.
