During some trauma training we were told students with trauma and stressful situations need some food and hydration every 2 hours in order to function and help them to focus. The majority of our students come from very stressful, traumatic situations. As we've started trying to give them snacks and water on a small basis, we've seen some improvement in their focus and ability to do what they need to. We don't have enough resources to provide what they need, and many of us have been using our own personal funds to try to meet the need. I need your help to give these kids the best chance they can have to be successful in school, and maybe not feel hungry all the time.
