Healthy Snacks for Healthy Minds

Help me give my students one less thing to worry about... I want to provide food for the weekend to my pregnant and parenting teens in my class.

My Project

I work at a charter school on the east side of Detroit. When the students attend school they receive breakfast, lunch, and dinner. However, on the weekends the students may experience food insecurity. The students I work with are pregnant and parenting teens. I would like to send them home with MAC AND CHEESE and books so they can read to their babies while home.

We are hoping to pass out books THE INVISIBLE STRING.

The book's message is that no one is ever alone, even when their loved one is not physically present.

I want my students to know that they are cared for and loved.

We are also looking for "Fun Friday"activities such as UNO cards.

The students will be sent home with food on Fridays. This will also encourage my students to attend school and complete their education. I want the teen moms to be successful as parents and as students.
