Celebrating 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
Providing healthy snacks throughout the school day isn't just about satisfying tummies – it's about fueling young minds for optimal learning. Think of it as investing in their cognitive powerhouses! Here's how healthy snacks can supercharge students' academic journeys:
Boosting Energy and Focus:
Brainpower on Demand: Sugary treats might offer a quick burst, but healthy snacks like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and yogurt provide sustained energy for learning. They're packed with complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, and essential nutrients that keep brains buzzing all day long.
Attention, Please! Cracked up on something crunchy? Good! Snacks stimulate blood flow to the brain, which can enhance alertness and concentration. Say goodbye to afternoon slumps and hello to focused learning!
Supercharging Engagement and Performance:
Learning in Action: Snack breaks can be more than just refuelling pit stops. They can be mini-resets that break up long stretches of work, allowing students to move, socialize, and come back to their tasks with renewed enthusiasm.
Test-Taking Champions: Studies show that well-nourished students perform better on tests! A smart snack before an exam can provide the brain with the extra fuel it needs to ace those questions.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
