Because of you, my students no longer have to face the \r\n\"afternoon slump\" on an empty stomach.\r\n\r\nAs many of you know, the end of a high school day isn't actually the \"end\" for most \r\nof these teens. When the final bell rings, my students are heading off to a wide variety \r\nof responsibilities, whether it be for athletes heading to grueling practices and games, student employees clocking into shifts at local businesses, club leaders staying late to \r\nbuild community, or just commuters facing a long, multi-transfer city bus ride home.\r\n\r\nIt is a small thing, but when a teen asks if I have a snack, being able to offer a granola \r\nbar, a bag of popcorn, or a fruit snack makes a massive difference in their morale and energy levels. It tells them that their community cares about their well-being and recognizes how hard they work both inside and outside the classroom.\r\n\r\nOne student recently told me that having a snack before their shift at work made them \r\nfeel \"actually ready to go,\" rather than just exhausted. That shift in mindset is entirely thanks to your kindness.\r\n\r\nThank you for fueling their bodies and their ambitions.
