Christmas break is over and second semester starts next week. The snack closet has been empty for months, and yet students still come ask if I have anything. And their disappointment every time I tell them the snacks are gone makes my heart sink a little each time.
With your help, I can brighten my students' day, help them stave off hunger until lunch/home, and in turn show them I care AND help them to learn.
It may not seem like much, but your donation and support means the world to my students.
Nearly all 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
