My Students
I teach special education in Oakland Unified. I work at a high school supporting students with a wide range of needs in all content areas.
My amazing students have returned to an empty classroom after being at home for 1.5 years.
They range in age from 14-16 and are all working hard to do their best and to make the most of a very difficult situation.
There is not a day that I do not feel lucky to have my job doing the work that I do! My students struggle to find their place as learners in school but I see them as creative, funny, and deeply empathetic young adults who are a testament to who they are and the bright future they deserve.
My Project
Growing bodies are hungry and being at school all day requires focus and concentration. The average adolescent needs 2200-2800 calories per day. Many of my students are active in athletics and hold jobs after school. It takes a lot of food to keep them fueled.
Feeding hungry students at their time of need supports learning and focus in all academic areas.
The relief that they feel when they can identify their hunger and have it sated is priceless and their appreciation is infectious. Having been able to feed them the first semester due to generous donors inspires me to continue to provide this support.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
