My Project

Many students do not come to school prepared emotionally or physically. When they are at school, it is their place to find safety in all areas of their life. One of the ways that we try to help a child feel secure is to make sure that their stomach has food, throughout the day.

Snacking for success will allow students to stay focused on learning instead of wondering when they will have food again.

When people live in a state of wondering where their next meal comes from, is sometimes consuming, which takes away from learning. These simple snacks will allow students to be assured that every day they will have a snack and will not go home hungry. There are different students with dietary restrictions or food diversions due to very disabilities. The goal for this project is to allow all students to have a snack that will allow them to have food in their stomachs to feel content. My students are very special because that’s the way they were created!
