Help me give my students tools that we can use to learn valuable life skills in the kitchen by planning and preparing meals to share and enjoy together.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
All of the students that will benefit from this project participate in a therapeutic, self-contained, special education program. Our students receive services due to social, emotional, and behavioral issues, and all are identified as high risk due to their ongoing history of disengagement from school based on truancy, academic barriers, and behavioral needs. The resources included in this project will allow us to incorporate essential life skills through meal planning, preparation, and then enjoying the food together.
The majority of our students have not had many feelings of success and achievement in school, many at-risk students have been able to graduate and find post-secondary success.
Our students face many issues outside of school including poverty and an inability to have many of their basic needs met. By providing lessons on how to budget, plan healthy and delicious meals, shop for the right foods, and then prepare these meals together as a team, our students will learn valuable life skills that will assist them long after graduation in being able to provide for themselves. Offering healthy meal and snack options also supports these students no longer having to worry about hunger taking away from their ability to focus on their studies and discover academic success.
More than half of 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
