Help me give my students food for our in-school pantry such as peanut butter jars, tuna cans, chicken cans, coffee and other food supplies for our families in need.
Our school, a 9-12 urban charter school, was created in 1957 in response to the Cold War fear that Americans would be outrun by the Russians in the STEM fields. Our school is considered a math and science school, but shines equally in the arts and humanities. We are working hard to continue to define our school's role in our modern world, and our students take that challenge very seriously.
Our school, one of the most unique in the state, has a 63% minority population, and we recruit our students from 94 different middle schools in the region.
Furthermore, 33% of our student body qualifies for free/reduced-price lunch. Combine this with our number of National Merit Scholars (23 this year) and our impressive college acceptance rate, it is clear that our school is a unique study in accomplishing amazing things with a most diverse population and with ever-shrinking resources.
Our school is big on leadership skills. Indeed, it is not enough in this world to be smart. We need smart people who can lead. We have a student council and a student leadership team to oversee big projects at school and outside of school as well.
My Project
We have an in-school pantry for our families in need where students can come and take food home, no questions asked. When we started it, a generous donorschoose donor provided us with $1,500 worth of food and the Kiwanis gave $500. Many teachers contributed. This was less than a month ago!
The food is all gone to families under free-reduced lunch and we need to replenish.
Perhaps we won't be able to use the food now because of deliveries, but in any case, we shall need food long after all of this is over. People have lost income and will need to rely on donations.
Please help us replenish our in-school pantry so we can help those who need it the most.
