My Students
I teach autistic support at a title 1 school in Philadelphia. My grade band is K-4 this year and I service 10 students in a self contained room. My students are hard workers and love to have fun while learning. I not only teach academics but life skills as well. I cook with them, do crafts to support fine motor skills, and teach personal and domestic maintenance skills.
These students also have food aversions and having a refrigerator is a must to keep various items that I know they will eat when they refuse to eat what the lunch room serves.
They also have snack during the day and we supply milk and juice for them.
My Project
Our refrigerator in our room is no longer keeping things cold. Some students bring special lunches that require us to keep them cold, we keep cooking materials, extra milk and juice, and breakfast items in our refrigerator. Due to tight budgets and this item not being deemed "necessary" the district will not replace ours.
My students deserve to continue to have their food cold, extra milk to drink and food to eat when the school lunch is not appetizing to them for various reasons.
They love to cook and keeping supplies like eggs, butter, and condiments is needed. Please consider helping us keep our food fresh!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
