My Project

After working in the school system for nearly twenty-nine years, I understand that if a child is hungry, he/she/they may not be able to focus on the lesson being taught at the time. Some of my students have to eat at school because food is scarce at home. Hence, I have always shared my drinks and food in my class with students. This is especially true for our numerous students who are diabetic or borderline diabetic.

Help me to make sure that our students with diabetes have drinks and snacks to help them maintain great glucose levels.

Our students must continue to come first in all we do.
