This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My school is a Title 1 school with a strong newcomer population. I work with a lot of students from immigrant families who rely on our school to keep their children fed.
Apart from academic consequences, hunger can also cause emotional and behavioral problems.
Children experiencing food insecurity might feel embarrassed or socially isolated, impacting their self-esteem and motivation to participate in school activities. Making it harder for students to cope with everyday challenges, including schoolwork.
School hunger is one of the biggest pressing issues that demand our attention and action. No child should be forced to learn on an empty stomach. Your gift of food, time, or money is not just about providing sustenance – it’s also about nurturing a brighter future for our 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
