Dear Dr.Combs,
Being in high school does not give you the time to wait in line for lunch now in days. There are many students who have tests or labs to finish in class before lunch. This makes students run late. Some students do not have the time to take advantage of using their lunch period in a right manner.
Why not bring back the healthy snacks? School vending machines bring many benefits into consideration. Think about the amount of money these snack machines can make. Half the profit can go into good charities if it’s thought well. It can also help to purchase any supplies, material the school would need. We should have vending machines because students would then have to take responsibility in spending their money wisely, which will then give them help for managing their future finances.
You can also put less sugary snacks in the machine if you were worried about the health of students, like bananas, granola bars, nutrition bars...etc. Calories are a big deal. You do not want to add any snacks with high percentages of calories, fats and sugars. Think healthy! Adding fresh fruits can change these kids health. Who says no to fruits anyways? Look at the ice-cream vending machine in our school. I am pretty sure ice-cream has so much sugar and calories! We can turn around this unhealthy vending machine into something better.
The more delicious snacks we get, the better students will focus during class. Keeps them more awake and going throughout the rest of the afternoon.
Sincerely,
Vanessa Hernandez
