My Project

We've all been there before, hungry with a lot of work left in our day. All you need is a little snack to help you power through. The students in my class have a long school day with an early lunch. A lunch that they rely on to give them the fuel needed for the rest of their day. Having a snack later in the day would help my students be able to focus on their academics and not have to worry about being hangry.

My students have a packed academic schedule and they work so hard, especially in the afternoon!

Their minds and bodies would benefit so much from an afternoon snack!
