My Project

What I love about my students is that they tend to excel when adverse situations arise. The fact that many of these students had to deal with a two year world wide pandemic, still many of them kept positive attitudes towards learning and evolving in terms of being educated.

With these needed snacks, the students will be guaranteed some nutrition throughout the long arduous days at school.

Now that our school hours have changed here in our school district, the kids are in school an extra hour longer than in previous years. This really makes for a very long day of learning.

A lack of food during long days at school effects the brains chemistry, therefore in many cases resulting in increased symptoms of anxiety and depression.
