Many students in our moderate behavior special education program are lacking proper nutrition and water when they come in. This results in lethargy, mood swings, and even pain. They come in complaining of thirst and hunger, and for growing middle schoolers, the two free meals at breakfast and lunch may not be enough. Furthermore, some are brought late through no fault of their own, and end up missing breakfast. The kids who don't have enough food fall asleep in class, or are simply unfocused, thus missing valuable instruction time. This project will be used to make sure our students have access to healthy snacks and water every day. The types of food selected are nutritious and easy to eat quickly. There are several whole grain chips and granola bars. Students can come into our room, eat one quickly, and then participate in general education classes where food may not be allowed. They can take their water bottles with them and refill them at school stations throughout the day. Teachers here have been giving up their food to help feed students who need more than the two daily meals, and it would mean so much to our classroom if we could fund this healthy pantry and nourish our students!
