I teach night class to 16-22 year old students and due to the timing of the class they tend to skip dinner . Some of these students come straight from work and they don't have the skills or the means to bring food for themselves.
We all know how hard it can be to focus in class if you are hungry. The students who attend during regular day time have food provided for them. The students who attend in the evening are not provided for in the same way. I have students asking to go to the vending machines which means they miss direct instruction and this can also be distracting to other students. I would like to have healthy snacks on hand to distribute to my students so they are not hungry or missing valuable class time. I would like to help them stay focused and engaged during night school. I think it will make a big difference and they will be grateful to be able to focus on learning and not their hunger.
