Healthy School Meals for All Event this Thursday

Hello, 

As school nurses, we witness students battling food insecurities in our schools daily.  Some come to school hungry and appear in our clinics with stomach aches, nausea, headaches, and even overall fatigue - upon assessment, we find that they have not eaten breakfast. Some students have been told by their parent(s) not to obtain breakfast at school because it is “too expensive,” and/or told “you’ll be fine” and are expected to learn and thrive the same way a well-nourished student would. We know that hungry kids can't learn!

Your support is needed now!  Please come to the State House on Thursday, March 14, from 3 - 4 PM.  

See the attached flyer!

As always, Thank you for your continued support!
