My Project
After working in the school system for almost twenty-two years, I understand, if a child is hungry, he/she may not be able to focus on the lesson that is being taught at the time. Some of my students have to eat at school, because food is scarce at home. Hence, I have always shared whatever food I have in my class with students.
If a child has a hearty snack, he or she may be able to focus better in class and the students’ attention won't be focused on being hungry.
Our students must continue to come first in all we do. We are requesting bottles of water, popcorn, lollipops and Powerade.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
