🌟 Student Leadership in Action 🌟

At St. Puis X Catholic Elementary School, our snack program is powered by more than healthy food. It’s powered by incredible students like Lorena’s helpers, Lucius and Willow.

Each week, Lucius proudly hands out apple bowls and makes it his mission to choose one special apple for a student in every class. His thoughtful gesture brings a little extra joy to snack time and shows how small acts of kindness can make a big impact.

Willow has become an essential part of the program by helping manage the collection bins. She’s so efficient that she can hand over bins and their contents faster than they can be washed and put away! Through her role, Willow has developed new language, counting, and organizational skills while building confidence and independence.

Recently, both students were recognized with special medals for their contributions. After receiving hers, Willow proudly ran through the hallway as fellow students celebrated her achievement with high fives all around. 💛

These moments remind us that student nutrition programs do more than provide healthy food, they create opportunities for leadership, responsibility, learning, and belonging.

Thank you, Lucius and Willow, for helping make snack time special for your school community! 🍎

🍎 More Than a Meal 🍎

Family-style eating is about so much more than food on the table. When students gather together to share a snack or meal, they are building confidence, practicing social skills, learning independence, and developing healthy relationships with food.

By serving themselves, trying new foods alongside their peers, and enjoying conversations together, students gain valuable life skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

These shared moments help create a welcoming environment where every child feels included, connected, and ready to learn.

Because when we nourish students together, we help build healthy habits, stronger communities, and brighter futures—one shared meal at a time. ❤️
