My young men are hungry for knowledge and new ideas. They're also just hungry! I am hoping to supply my young men with healthy snacks in order to help my students stay focused, attentive, and lively. Many of my students experience malnutrition or food insecurity due to homelessness or socioeconomic issues. As a result, at school they are often tired and need a boost of calories to maintain their stamina in classes. In my experience, I have found that so many times when a student is off-task, distracted, or unmotivated, it comes down to a simple issue of whether or not they ate breakfast that day. Too many of my students even go without both breakfast and lunch, which means that for much of the day they are truly running on empty. I currently try to make snacks available, but it's difficult (and costly) to keep up this service along with purchasing other supplies for my classes. Healthy snacks such as chips, pretzels, and juice will enable students to develop their academic skills with renewed energy. Your donation to this project will give students "food for thought." In order for students to perform well in school--writing that essay, analyzing that novel, or creating that project--they need the strength that is often depleted during a long school day. Your help in providing my students with healthy snacks will be instrumental in setting them up for success.
