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 Project
My Project
I am a teacher in a Title I school, located in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, NY.
Many of my Unicorns are from low income households. Some of my Unicorns live in temporary housing/shelters and they have limited resources. Some of my Unicorns get their meals from school. Sometimes they come in late and the school cafeteria has stopped serving breakfast leaving my Unicorns hungry until lunch time. Other Unicorns are very picky eaters and will not eat the school lunch or are still hungry even after eating their lunch.
In addition some Unicorns are in school from as early as 7:15 am and as late as 5:30 pm, which creates a long day for them and snacks will help. I would like to have snacks for my Unicorns because they are often hungry and do not have access to extra food in the classroom. During snack time only some Unicorns bring in a snack from home and they feel sad or left out because they don't have a snack. The water fountains in the classroom are not functioning properly and we have been told not to allow Unicorns to drink from them. Some Unicorns do not bring water from home and they are frequently stating they are thirsty.
As adults it is difficult to get things done when we are hungry, imagine how much more difficult it is for my Unicorns who are 5 or 6 years old.
Help me get snacks, cereal, and water to help curb their hunger or thirst throughout the day.
