Students cannot learn on an empty stomach. When our students come to school hungry, it makes it difficult to get through a day of learning when their minds are preoccupied with thoughts of hunger. This leads to fatigue, irritability, and lacking the ability to focus on the task at hand. One of our goals at ALPHA is to meet our students where they are. Providing snacks is one of the ways that we can do this. We can show these amazing that they are cared for, safe, and that there are people at school and in the community who care enough to help them. These snacks will provide students with what they need to get through the day.
