Hunger can be a significant distraction for young learners, impacting their ability to focus on lessons, engage with peers, and manage their emotional states. By addressing this basic need, the snacks have played a vital role in enhancing the overall well-being of the students.\r\n\r\nOne of the most noticeable outcomes we have observed is how these snacks help students maintain their energy levels throughout the day. When students arrive at school on an empty stomach, they often struggle to concentrate in class. This lack of focus can lead to frustration, not only for the individual student but also for their classmates and teachers. With accessible snacks, students are better equipped to manage their hunger and remain attentive during lessons, which in turn leads to a more productive and harmonious learning environment.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, we have noted that many students come to my office seeking help because they feel hungry rather than experiencing emotional distress. This insight highlights how hunger can be misinterpreted as emotional problems. When students are nourished, they are less likely to feel irritable, anxious, or distracted. The simple act of providing these snacks has, therefore, played a crucial role in preventing potential emotional outbursts and promoting a more positive atmosphere in the classroom.\r\n\r\nThe snacks also serve another essential purpose: they act as a bridge for students who may feel isolated or withdrawn. Offering food can encourage social interactions among students, fostering a sense of community and connection. When students share snacks or gather around the snack area, they engage in conversations that can build friendships and support systems. This kind of social bonding is particularly important in a school setting, as it contributes to a sense of belonging that every student needs to thrive.\r\n\r\nMoreover, the nutritional value of the snacks cannot be overlooked. Providing healthy snacks teaches students the importance of nutrition and its impact on their overall well-being and academic performance. We can incorporate discussions about healthy eating habits in the classroom, using the snacks as a practical example. This education reinforces positive lifestyle choices that students can carry with them beyond their time at school.\r\n\r\nWe have also seen a reduction in classroom outbursts since introducing the snack program. When students' basic needs are met, they are more likely to engage in positive behaviors rather than acting out. Reduced hunger leads to reduced frustration and, consequently, fewer disciplinary issues. Teachers have reported a more focused classroom environment where students feel secure enough to express themselves without resorting to outbursts.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, the implementation of this snack program has opened avenues for collaboration. Parents and guardians have expressed their appreciation for the initiative, as it alleviates some of their worries about their children not having enough to eat during the school day. This collaboration with families strengthens the partnership between home and school, creating a more supportive environment for all students. \r\n\r\nIn conclusion, the snacks you have provided for our students are much more than a simple gesture of generosity. They are a critical component of our efforts to support the overall well-being, emotional health, and academic success of our learners. By meeting their hunger needs, we are not only enhancing their capacity to concentrate and learn but also fostering a more inclusive and harmonious school environment. As we move forward, I'm excited to continue this initiative and explore further opportunities to support our students' holistic development. Thank you for your thoughtful contribution to our school's mission.oom outbursts.","fullyFundedDate":1733270782736,"projectUrl":"project/from-hangry-to-happy-nourishing-our-sch/8631405/","projectTitle":"From Hangry to Happy: Nourishing Our School with Healthy Snacks","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Labbe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7873370_orig.jpg?crop=928,928,x32,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1668633443568","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/toni-labbe"},{"teacherId":9717395,"projectId":8720655,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our school wide efforts to make sure that students are using social media safely and helping us raise their awareness for being a good digital citizen.

From those discussions, students then plan activities to do with their peers for the challenge of a digital detox, conversations about videos such as \"How is your phone changing you?\", and then the amount of time spent on digital devices and its impact on an individual's health.\r\n\r\nWe are excited to share brief PSAs on our new messaging system as well, and our computer will make this an easy thing to do!

The students will learn how to read about the machine and all of the settings. Using a MIG makes the actual welding easier but the set up is so much more complex then using SMAW. We make the students use SMAW welders first because they need to learn how to see the puddle and make good welds. They even go to FVCC and take their welding certificate test using SMAW, but other then structure welding most jobs have moved to MIG welders. These little machines can do GMAW and FCAW and they students can learn about the pros and cons of each operation. They have to read about the settings, gas used, and when to use each operation. Having more of these will help more students get exposed to this.
