Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Snacks for students during the school day should prioritize both convenience and nutrition to support sustained energy and concentration. Portable options like pre-cut fruits, trail mix, or yogurt cups are ideal for quick and easy consumption between classes or during short breaks. These snacks provide a combination of carbohydrates for immediate energy, protein for sustained satiety, and healthy fats to support brain function, helping students stay focused and alert throughout their classes.

Additionally, incorporating snacks that are rich in fiber, such as whole grain crackers with cheese or hummus, can help students feel fuller for longer periods, reducing the likelihood of distractions caused by hunger pangs.

It's also important to encourage hydration by including options like water, herbal teas, or flavored sparkling water alongside snacks to support optimal cognitive function and overall well-being. By offering a variety of nutritious snacks, schools can help students maintain their energy levels and mental clarity, ultimately enhancing their learning experience and academic performance.
