Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students are from an environment where it is deeply rooted in crime and poverty. The students I teach are from the lower socioeconomic class of my city. There is a negative sensation you feel when your thirsty and hungry. Now think of the anticipation of quenching that thirst and fulfilling that hunger. Most of my students share the anxiety of looking for a healthy pick me up snack and positive interactions throughout the day. Devouring healthy snacks and hydrating on healthy beverages is in the wellness plan. My students are energetic students who has became more interested in a healthier lifestyle holistically.

My students are becoming more health conscious and seeking ways to achieve mental awareness through Health Physical Education and Lifetime Wellness courses.

My school does not have the essentials to support the healthy snacks and sports beverages needed for wellness as well as the literature to accommodate. Resources with nutritional value and writing boards will help in presenting the message. My students' minds and bodies are still growing they they need to be fed quality food and information pertaining to health and wellness.

My Project

This project is to provide healthy snacks and beverages with informative nutritional value and mental awareness literature. The basis is for students who need a healthy snack pick me up through out the day. Activities such as playing basketball can also be an outlet the students the needed exercise time to Some students acquire a boost to get them moving and to change their mood.

Optimum performance out of students requires a lot of help it is almost impossible to receive that without them having a clear mind set.

Just imagine a student who has not eaten and has some form of a team practice after school. Students also need an out to for recreational activities such as a walk, dribbling a basketball or even a conversation with a snack to make a better day. I am continuing to to foster my students about being more health conscious and being able to note changes in their lives. I am requesting literature about mental awareness, healthy snacks and sports beverages in this project to aid in that manner. This resource will keep the students form going hungry and being able to perform in a quality state of mind. For example, students do all types of state-mandated tests such as ASVAB, ACT, TCAP and such, and without a snack to get you through the day it can be really tough. I am at school where tardiness and absenteeism is at an all-time high. I just want to be able to help those students out and the effect of this project will also help in minimizing negative behavior.
