My students need healthy bars and snack to keep them focused on their academics and assist them in keeping their emotion balanced. I am their school social worker seeking assistance in funding of healthy snacks for my hungry students. You may ask, "Why the focus on their hunger?"One of the simplest solution is asking, "Have you eaten?" Can immediately de-escalate a crisis. I consistently have students coming to my office asking for snacks at all times of the day. I have dealt with many crisis in classroom because students have express their hunger. Some of my students have adult responsibility, such as dropping their siblings to school, so they are unable or are late to breakfast. The introduction of healthy snacks might be a first lesson for healthy eating for many of my students. Since many of my students are overweight, I will be able to teach them alternatives to their unhealthy snacks. I would like to have a variety of snacks in my office to provide a quick energy boost to my students to get them back on the path to emotional and academic success.
