Middle schoolers are constantly on the go and burn a lot of energy—they truly need that nourishment to keep them going.\r\n\r\nThe students were genuinely excited to have choices when they needed a snack. Being able to pick something they liked brought a sense of joy and care they don't always get to experience.
