Feed the Students and Let Them Learn

My students need food to fuel their bodies throughout the day and to bring home on weekends.

My Students

I teach in a title 1 school in Orlando, Florida to a class of students with emotional and behavioral disabilities. This classroom is specifically designed for students with emotional behavioral disabilities stemming from psychological to environmental beginnings.

Many students with emotional and behavioral disabilities simply need love, as well as a dependable and safe environment which I strive to provide for them every day.

They also require modifications to their learning environments such as small group areas and flexible options for seating in order for them to be successful in their academics.

My students need to be in smaller classrooms in order to be successful in their academics. In addition to the everyday subjects, I also teach my students social skills and learning strategies that they will use throughout their lives to become successful in life and career when they are adults.

My Project

This is a title 1 school and my students are coming from all different walks of life to my specialized classroom.This food will be available to students in the classroom during the week and for parents to take home for the weekends.

My students will benefit from the security of knowing that when they come to school they will be able to eat as much as they need without worrying.

This will enable the students to be able to learn efficiently.

I have many times brought my own pantry items to school to feed my students and sent home items with them in order for students to not go hungry on the weekends and especially over holiday breaks.
