My Students
My students come from a very low-income community, where they do not have as many rewards and privileges as students in other communities. Some students live in households with more than five people, and depending on their age group, they have to be the leaders in the house for their families. Despite the challenges they face, my students still come to school, ready to learn and eager about their education. It brightens my world to see students who actually are not letting their environmental challenges overcome their future.
My Project
My students face many challenges at very young ages. Oftentimes, school is their only escape from the realities of their real world. My project is to have snacks to keep them motivated to come to school, even when breakfast time is over (the Special K breakfast bars), to keep up the work with behavior (chips and cookies), and to reward them for reaching their educational goals (fruit snacks).
Without the additional snacks we give in the classroom, some of my students would not have that extra nourishment each day.
As stated before, my students come from a community where families are large, and income is small. When federal support runs out, they rely on what they eat at school to help get them through the day. Snacks are great boosters for continuing to keep morale and behavior high at our campus.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
