The students that I work with are asked to work on lagging skills that interfere with their success in typical classroom settings. They are the students who act out, melt down, or interrupt peers' learning. They work hard at digging deep to uncover weaknesses and build up those skills. This requires hard work, courage, tenacity and effort. The work is sometimes physically and emotionally exhausting and I need to support this effort by supplying snacks that are truly nourishing. The snacks that I have supplied in the past are processed, shelf-stable and commonly eaten by the students. I myself live a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle and believe living, vital, nourishing food provides growing bodies with what they need, especially when they are working on skills that will impact the quality of their lives now and perhaps for a lifetime. What I intend to do is ask for donations to fund gift cards to our local supermarket. I would then purchase fruits and vegetables from our local store as snacks for the students. Items such as sliced apples, carrot sticks, grapes, sugar snap peas, and sliced peppers would make delicious, nutritious snacks for hardworking students.
