My Students
I am a school social worker in an urban school district. I service high school students who have Individual Education Plans and who have emotional disabilities. My students mainly come from poverty stricken homes and some are in foster care.
My students work very hard to stay engaged in school despite outside stressors.
We have worked on sustaining and maintaining healthy relationships. For most of my students school is a safe haven as their home environment is very chaotic. The staff and I want to make the students experiencing as happy, safe and fulfilling as possible.
My Project
My high school students come from impoverished families who struggle to keep food in the house. Many of our students come from single parent households, foster homes and are even homeless sleeping at other friends and families home.
Students come to school hungry every day and the staff do the best they can to use their own resources and feed the kids throughout the day.
Often times teachers go into their own wallets to ensure that students are not hungry. A food donation would help my students immensely and ensure that they are not hungry throughout the school day. It will also help the teachers to not have to go into their own wallets everyday.
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
