I have kids who arrive at school too late to eat school breakfast and who have had nothing to eat at home. It is unreasonable to expect a hungry child to do their best work. \r\n\r\nHaving a supply of snacks in the room to offer them when they are hungry has been such a huge help. A few kids need a little something most days and some kids have needed something just here and there. But having what they need when they need it has helped them feel more secure and more able to learn. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generosity and kind spirit.
