My Students
My school is located in Queens, N.Y., the most culturally and ethnically diverse neighborhood in the world. The children who enter my classroom, come from all over NYC. As such, they carry with them a wealth of knowledge, that contributes to a dynamic classroom. My students include AP, general education, and special education students. In addition, many of my students also come from economically disadvantaged homes. Therefore, many times, resources are scarce.
In my classroom of 34 students, there are 30 different countries represented as a result of the cultural diversity that exists among my students.
They are eager to learn and motivated to push themselves to do their best. There is an atmosphere of acceptance and trust in our classroom that encourages students to step out of their comfort zone and challenge themselves to set high academic and social goals that they can work toward together.
My Project
Many students arrive to school hungry without having had breakfast or they remain after school for various tutoring or sports programs and need some nourishment to keep them going after a long day at school. Providing students with a quick snack such as a granola bar, cereal, or fruit snacks will give them what they need to make it through their day without being hungry.
When students' life essentials are provided for, they are able to better focus on their academics.
Students are more willing to stick around after school and complete schoolwork or receive extra help from teachers when they know there are snacks provided to help them get through that extra hour or two.
More than three‑quarters 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
