We have already almost gone through all of the snacks you provided: there is certainly a demand! Students are hungry.

With your support, I've been able to help fill some of the nutritional gaps in students' days.\r\n\r\nAnd...this is a band-aid. It's never enough. I have students asking me for instant noodles so they can feed themselves and their younger siblings in the evenings. Until we provide for everyone, we won't be able to realize a society with just and equal opportunities for all. But until that time, I'll keep applying band-aids, giving out snacks and meals to students who need a pick-me-up - or a family dinner - whenever I can.

We have a routine where a different student walks around to pass out a snack to each student in the class. The amount of joy that went around today was infectious. \r\n\r\nWe are currently beginning a project on future careers students hope to have and developing a specific and clear pathway for how students will achieve those careers.

The students all find a comfortable spot to sit while I read. The other staff in the room are also enjoying the read aloud times.

As you can see from the photos I've included, some students make sculptures about love regardless of differences, self-love, love for those who are no longer with us, love of specific hobbies, unconfessed love, toxic love, and more.
