Help me give my students options for snacks and other items to help them meet their basic needs so they can focus and increase engagement in their school activities.
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 assist us in providing students with healthy foods and snacks which will allow the staff to build connections with students by helping to meet basic needs.
The majority of our students have not had many feelings of success and achievement in school and through the RISE Academy at HPHS, 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 snacks, some of which students earn through a restorative-based rewards program, these students no longer have 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
