My Project

Providing snacks can address the issue of hunger during long bus rides. Hunger can negatively impact concentration and overall well-being, and having nutritious snacks can help maintain students' energy levels and focus. This, in turn, can positively affect their ability to engage in learning activities.

Improving the overall learning experience for students, considering the challenges they face with long bus rides and potential hunger, and creating a supportive and conducive learning environment by addressing basic needs like nutrition, and hoping to enhance student well-being, potentially leading to better academic performance.

These students may be considered special due to their unique circumstances, such as a high population of free and reduced qualifiers. The provision of snacks is a targeted intervention to address hunger during long bus rides, contributing to a more supportive learning environment.
