Help me give my students snacks and breakfast items during this time of need. We are currently finding out who has technology and any needs for food. These items would greatly be appreciated during the tough time.
I am the librarian at a Title 1 school and many of my students are below grade level with their reading. It is a struggle to balance the needs of all learners. We have around 160 students who are at a 3rd grade reading level and below. Some of our students who are low level learners also are struggling during this time with their families with food. We have several students who participate in our Backpack Buddies program. This program provides snacks and canned food items once a week to that child. During this time of need, many students count on our school breakfast and lunches and some parents lost their jobs already due to Covid-19.
By providing a donation to this Donor's Choose, our school can help those students in need during this time and make sure they are continuously getting snacks and breakfast items while we do not see them everyday.
Every year at Christmas time, our school has an Angel Tree, in which low income students are asked what they want for Christmas. These same students are the ones we are trying to get snacks for during this time when school is out. I thank you!
My Project
I will work with our two counselors and three principals along with our school nurse to distribute the snacks once we get them into the school. During this time of need, I want to provide these items to the parents and hopefully this will help out that family. Any donation is appreciated.
Parents are losing their jobs and students still need fuel to learn at home!
These snacks will be given to the most needy of families we have at our school. These same students will be receiving school supplies to complete work at home during our time out due to Covid-19. We do not know when we will be back at school as a school family but I do know that this donation will make their tummy happy!
