Snack Time

Our research question is “How does nutrition impact student achievement in the classroom?” Research shows that students perform better when they have an adequate amount of food. Our bodies and brains need the energy that food provides to power our learning. The types of foods we feed our students is also important. We need healthy snacks which are full of vitamins, nutrients, and good proteins. Foods that aren’t full of sugar are a good place to start. School breakfast programs have provided students with fuel to learn and behave well. Schools that have implemented breakfast programs have seen a jump in test scores. Students should be given the opportunity to eat healthy snacks in the classroom to power their learning as well.

Italy Study Abroad

Immersing yourself in a different culture helps you to grow in your knowledge of the world and experience the histories of people around the world. By visiting sites like the Duomo and the Duomo Museum in Florence, Italy, we were able to understand the connection between the people who helped to design some of the most well-known artifacts and places of the city. By going to churches in different countries you are able to notice the similarities and differences in worship and sermons. Visiting sites like the Mamertine Prison, where St. Paul was held in Rome, connects the history of the Bible to or understanding of Christianity today. Time management skills and understanding how to read a map helps prepare you to navigate in a different environment while you are away from home.
