Many of our students go hungry throughout the day and are embarrassed to say so, in fact many of them come to school without having had anything in their stomachs. Many go hungry because there is not enough food at home to go around. For many. this is the only meal or most balanced meal they may receive. As active and growing teenagers, they get hungry throughout the day and come into my office asking for a snack to stay awake and focused. There are days I may have a snack for them, there are days I don’t. I want to make sure that I have something for them to eat every day! Their hunger is real and impacts their growth, focus and development negatively. No child should feel hunger. Food is a basic human need. Small snacks help them push through their day, but we can’t do it alone. Please help us provide small snacks to our students.
