We, the parents at William Burgess PS, are advocating to support our 5-day a week snack program. This program provides essential nourishment to ensure our kids have:
- balanced, healthy snacks to help our children grow;
- essential vitamins and nutrients required for brain development;
- ability to focus on expanding their knowledge, not focused on hunger.
Please add your name if you are supportive of this initiative.
**PLEASE DO NOT DONATE FUNDS - THIS IS STRICTLY A PETITION TO KEEP THE PROGRAM RUNNING.**

This can run everyday if there is a desire to make it happen. The mechanism was already in place.
Please let the snack program go on 5 days a week for the children some kids will rather eat snacks from the school then to wat what there pearents have packed for them if kids are hungry they canot function some children dont want to eat breakfast or to much before coming to school there for the snack program comes in handy!the children are the future lets do the best we can for them now
Many more families have become food insecure during Covid-19. Full funding is in place for this crucial program, and has full support of families, it should be running at full capacity 5 days a week.
All kids deserve the rights to an equal education. If nutritional needs are not being met theses kids are less likely to succeed.
Some of our children get their only nutritious meal at school. We cannot afford to fail them.
This program is vital in acommunity where food insecurity is a real issue.
The importance of a full time snack program for the school community can't be understated. So many families rely on it.

Every Thursday I see the long line of families waiting for food at the Food Bank. COVID has compounded food security issues for many families. This program is vital, especially now!
