My students are mostly middle school-aged, but these snacks will be available for any students in my school (grades 7-12) that need one. This could be due to not being able to afford their own snacks, giving a little extra effort at lunch activities or PE, or just not having had time to get enough to eat at home or at lunch. My goal is that no student should go hungry.
Having raised my own 4 children, I know that hunger can affect a child's performance and focus in a classroom.
I am trying to avoid that being a factor in school for my students.
More than half of students from low‑income households
