The power of Food

🍎 The Power of Food: Why Bringing Meals to School Matters 🍱

Dear Students and Parents,

Did you know that what you eat during the school day can affect how well you learn, concentrate, and even how you feel? Food isn't just fuel for the body—it's fuel for the brain, too!

Why Is Food So Important for Learning?When students eat balanced meals and snacks, they’re better able to:✅ Stay focused in class✅ Have the energy for sports and activities✅ Improve their memory and problem-solving skills✅ Maintain a positive mood

Skipping meals, especially breakfast or lunch, can lead to tiredness, headaches, and trouble concentrating—all things that can make learning harder than it needs to be.

Bringing Food to School: Smart & Simple Tips

• Pack a healthy lunch with a mix of protein, whole grains, fruits, and veggies.
• Bring snacks like fruit, yogurt, nuts (if allowed), or granola bars for breaks.
• Stay hydrated with water—no energy drinks
• Prep the night before to avoid the morning rush.

Parents: Encourage your child to take charge of their health by helping them plan meals that are both tasty and nutritious. A little effort can make a big difference in their school day!

Students: Think of your brain like a phone—it needs regular charging. Food is your charger. Don’t leave home without it!
