My Project

Students who eat healthier food or snacks in between the school hours perform better in school. Healthy students get better grades, attend school more often and behave better in class. We now know that making time for nutrition in school is not a break from academics; it’s an investment in higher academic performance.

My extraordinary students need access to healthy snacks in between the academic hours in order to reach their full potential in preparation for our upcoming statewide testing.

There is pretty solid evidence that children, who crave for extra snacks are not able to focus, so they have a low attention span, behavioral issues, discipline issues in the school. Having children who are nourished and not hungry makes a difference in their individual performance and also how much they are contributing or disrupting the classroom situation. Extra nutritious snacks are critical for a child's brain and for concentration and learning at school. With your extraordinary advocacy and help, we will help each student combat learning gap.
