Nutrition is essential to learning because it directly affects cognitive function and academic performance. Proper nutrition provides the brain with the necessary nutrients to function optimally, enhancing memory, concentration, and problem-solving skills. Well-nourished children have more consistent energy levels, better immune function, and fewer illnesses, resulting in better attendance and more active participation in school. By ensuring that children receive nutritious meals, programs like CACFP help create an environment where students are better prepared to learn, grow, and succeed academically.

Healthy snacks and meals significantly enhance learning by providing essential nutrients that fuel the brain and body. Proper nutrition improves cognitive functions such as memory, concentration, and problem-solving skills. Consistent energy levels from balanced meals prevent fatigue and distraction, allowing students to stay focused and engaged. Additionally, good nutrition supports overall physical health, reducing absenteeism and promoting a better school experience. Thus, a well-nourished student is more likely to perform better academically and participate actively in their education.

Social & Emotional Learning
Social and emotional learning (SEL) is crucial because it helps individuals develop essential life skills such as emotional regulation, empathy, and effective communication. These skills enhance personal well-being, improve academic and professional performance, and foster positive relationships, contributing to a healthier, more resilient society.
Student Ambassadors
Student ambassadors for afterschool camps play a vital role in promoting leadership skills and enhancing the camp experience. These ambassadors serve as role models, guiding and mentoring their peers, which fosters a sense of responsibility and accountability. By organizing activities, solving problems, and representing the camp, they develop critical leadership skills such as communication, teamwork, and decision-making. Additionally, their involvement encourages a positive, inclusive environment, motivating other students to participate and engage actively. Overall, student ambassadors help create a supportive community while growing into confident, capable leaders. STUDENTS CAN BE RECOMMENDED BY THE SCHOOL OR APPLY TO BECOME AN AMBASSADOR!
