Most of my students are constantly hungry and are not able to bring any snacks from home. They often come to school without having eaten at home or have nothing to eat when is time for lunch or snacks. I have students who say their stomach hurts or they are simply hungry. These snacks would help tremendously to keep my students going and focused. The snacks I am asking for will help my students perform better. No child should go the school day thinking about their hunger than on learning. Happy stomachs can do such a difference in my little ones. Students will be able to take their minds off their tummies and back to learning.
