My Project

After working in the school system for almost twenty-two years, I understand, if a child is hungry, he/she may not be able to focus on the lesson that is 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 whatever food I have in my class with students.

If a child has a hearty snack, he/she/they may be able to focus better in class and the students’ attention won't be focused on being hungry.

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