I've noticed that even small breaks to enjoy a snack help re-energize them, making transitions between lessons smoother and more productive. For students who don't always have food at home, snacks are also sent home, ensuring they have the fuel to continue learning beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your support goes beyond just nourishment—it shows students that their needs and well-being matter.
