Teaching at a Title I school, I have seen first hand the effects that COVID has had on my students and their families. Many of my students come from households that really struggled with the financial burden of providing for their families. Many have also struggled with mental health issues. By providing a comfortable environment and snacks to my students, I can help offset the effects of COVID, as well as the burden that my students’ families carry. When I provide snacks for my students, I immediately notice a change in their behavior. They become more engaged, energized, and feel cared for. Meeting these basic needs greatly helps with their learning.
More than half of 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
