Many of my students come to school hungry, and working through 90-minute periods on an empty stomach is not sustainable. My students are very driven and throw themselves into rigorous tasks with a lot of grit, but hunger is a distraction that no amount of determination can chase away.
As a teacher, I need to set my students up for success by meeting their primary needs first. Having healthy snacks available will enable my students to focus on their goals in the classroom without the added stress of hunger. I am also asking for planners to help my students stay organized. They have an 8 period schedule to keep track of, as well as extracurriculars, jobs, and family responsibilities. Planners will support students' success across the board.
