Snacks for Striving Students

My students need SNACKS because many of our students face food insecurity and live in food deserts. Nutritious snacks will help keep students focused on their classwork.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Our Wellness Center works with a student body of 1100 students mainly from low-income households. The Wellness Center is staff by a wellness coordinator, school district nurse, therapists, and a community health outreach worker. Services offered by the Wellness Center include individual therapy, group therapy, case management, sensitive services, and youth leadership development opportunities. Additionally, the Wellness Center hosts a Department of Public Health clinic on site two days a week. Students are able to receive various types of birth control, emergency contraception, and STI/HIV testing and treatment.

The Burton Wellness Center is designed to address all the health and well being needs of students and staff.

Our students are unique and have an array of needs that we strive to meet within the Wellness Center. When we can’t meet a specific need, we collaborate with community-based organizations to come on site to support students or to refer and coordinate student connections to other agencies outside of school.

My Project

Food deserts are defined as parts of the city vapid of fresh fruit, vegetables, and other healthful whole foods, usually found in impoverished areas. This is largely due to a lack of grocery stores, farmers’ markets, and healthy food providers.

This has become a big problem because while food deserts are often short on whole food providers, especially fresh fruits and vegetables, instead, they are heavy on local quickie marts that provide a wealth of processed, sugar, and fat laden foods that are known contributors to our nation’s obesity epidemic.

By providing delicious and nutritious snacks, such as Beef Jerky, Pita Crackers, and Wheat Thins, students will be able to focus on school and learn about healthy snack alternatives. Being full and eating healthy foods, like the tasty Kind bars, greatly improves overall well being and keeps students from feeling hungry throughout the school day.
