My Students
We are a school in an urban area. Many of our students don't have the basic necessities to come to school or the means to purchase necessary supplies.
At our school, we often give out vouchers for free school uniforms because parents cannot afford to purchase uniforms.
We have given out book bags filled with supplies to the majority of our students so that they can have their basic classroom needs met. Other students may start with materials but lose track of them due to many housing moves throughout the year.
My students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to provide my students with a meaningful learning experience.
My Project
I want to help provide my students with snacks that they can eat after they leave tutoring.
Our school is an extended day school and we leave at 4:05 pm daily .
We then have tutoring until 5:30 p.m. My students eat lunch at 11:00 a.m. and have a fruit snack at 2:00 p.m. I want to have these additional snacks so that my students can have something to eat before they go home.
Many of my students only eat their meals in school. This snacks will allow them to focus on learning and not being hungry. I want them to be able to have something to nourish their bodies while they are learning.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
