Many students are not able to focus in class if they are hungry and many teachers don't allow food in class. I want to help them have access to food and snacks to hold them over until their next meal. Also, to minimize leaving class for water, I want to have beverages that can help with this issue as well. Many students may not have funds to bring a lunch to school or buy from the snack bar, and these specific students need a little extra help with focusing in class. Having ADHD myself, I know they need food to be on task.
