This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
Our school is a safe haven, a place where kids can work toward a common goal. Our students need somewhere safe to be, a place off of the tough, local streets. Kids at our school learn commitment, teamwork, and pride as well as academic skills.
I am the 7-12 grade chorus teacher as well as the assistant marching band director.
I also work with the beginning band students in grades four through six. Our students are vibrant and love to be the center of attention. All of the students in our school receive free breakfast and lunch, and there are after school activities that serve extra meals so kids don't go hungry.
However, our budget is non-existent. Our building is old and hasn't been updated much since it was originally built in the early 1900s. Sounds like a great place for modern learners, right?
My Project
I teach high school kids and I see how much they're growing. I also see what they eat for lunch, and it isn't enough. Our school lunches aren't sufficient for big kids. Four chicken nuggets isn't enough for me, let alone a child who is still growing. I am looking to supplement their lunches. Kids come into my room all of the time complaining that they're still hungry and I don’t want to give them more junk food. These fruit snacks and protein bars will help them to fill their bellies so that they're able to focus on academics. Thank you in advance for your help!
