Allow healthy snacks during break time in shop areas. By this time of the day students are starving. We aren't able to focus on our work because we are too focused on how hungry we are. Some students do not have lunch until nearly 12:00 and even though they do offer free breakfast, some students don't have the time due to their bus being late or other reasons. Even then you have to be in class by 7:40am which doesn't leave students a whole lot of time to eat and if they do eat, they will go 5 hours without eating again. Doctor's recommend eating something every 3 hours. http://stronglifts.com/eat-every-3-hours-daily-mea... Its a hazard for our bodies and minds to go without eating. They are also trying to reduce obesity nationwide and whatever little calories you consume, the body holds onto, if you are not eating properly. As stated in the link you should eat every 3 hours. Waiting 5 hours to eat is too long to keep us healthy. We all want the best for students; their bodies, minds and overall health are all affected by foods.

im still waiting to hear back from the front office about my meeting request but i wanted to say that i love reading your stories about how hard it is to concentrate in the morning. its super clear that we all have the same problem and keeping up the pressure is the only way theyll actually pay attention to us.

i honestly cant believe how many people are backing this and it feels like people are finally starting to listen. seeing so many of you talk about how hungry you are during class proves we really need this change.

Bringing back snack time would really help us due to kids who don't have time to eat breakfast because of the buses. It will wake us up and help us learn more
I agree my shop doesn't have lunch till 11:52. We have the lasted lunch like some other shops. An by 10 every one is complaining asking for food and how much more time till lunch.
Food is necessary for proper human functioning! Lets not take that away from students, especially because they are trying to expand their knowledge and exceed in school!
My medicine brings my sugar low and I have to go to the nurse to eat a snack. Which sucks cause I was miss class. Or some kind of learning. I love snack time
I WANT MY SNACK TIME BACK! I always get really hungry at around 9:00 in the morning. It would be great for snacks to be brought back in order to get me to focus and not worry about when my stomach growls for food in the middle of a test.
Please give us this. It'll be amazing.

At Dartmouth high school we have a 10 minute nutrition break which is a very great thing to have with no time to eat breakfast in the morning. I believe every school should have a snack time so they aren't distracted in classes and shops!
