My Project

It is no secret that students today struggle getting appropriate nutrition throughout the day; inflation and low income households add to this need. I often find students are well meaning, but lack the energy and nutrients throughout the day, many relying on school meals as their main food source. I would like to be able to offer my students a healthy breakfast bar or snack during the day to help keep them focused and on task, instead of the distraction of a growling tummy. Students that arrive late to school and miss the morning breakfast window suffer the most.

Sadly, sometimes the circumstances of their lateness is beyond their control.

Help me provide my students with healthful nutrition so their focus remains on academics as opposed to "When is lunch?"
