My Project

Have you ever been in a classroom or on a field trip with students? There is always a range of socio-economic statuses among my students so I will paint you a picture. First, of myself as a child. I went to private school and my parents struggled to pay for it. There were times I did not get my lunch money from them, so instead of eating lunch, I would pretend I wasn't hungry to avoid embarrassment! In the second picture, every day there are the haves and the have-nots, the kids who bring a plethora of interesting snacks and a lunch box full of expensive items, so many that the kid couldn't possibly eat it all in a lunch period! Then, there are the have-nots, those kids who look forward to the free breakfast and lunch provided by our amazing school programs, and those kiddos are the same ones who NEVER bring snacks even if they are hungry throughout the day! Now add onto that all my afterschool clubs, like coding and 3D printing, and those same kiddos are super hungry by the time we are working together after school!

Can you help me close the gaps in my classroom between the "haves" and the "have-nots" and ensure that every child that is hungry can eat snacks throughout the school day?
