Given that they have a late lunch, a nutritious morning snack is essential to maintain their energy and focus. Research shows that hunger can significantly impair cognitive function, memory, and attention, all of which are vital for effective learning. Providing snacks helps ensure that students are better able to concentrate, participate, and perform academically.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a meaningful difference in supporting my students' well-being and academic success.
