My Project

I am a language arts teacher at a Title I public school in Troy, NY. We serve about 875 students in grades 6-8 (approximately 275 in 7th grade). Most of the students that we work with come from severely deprived backgrounds where the food they consume at school might be the only source of nourishment they receive for the entire day. The lack of food consumption, unfortunately, impacts many students’ ability to focus on their learning.

Being able to provide water and snacks such as nuts, granola bars, and crackers, when necessary, will help overcome this hurdle so students can focus on learning new skills and objectives, ultimately improving their overall education.
