When I was in school I didn’t realize some of my peers came to school hungry. I was a kid and those things didn’t matter then. I was fortunate. I received breakfast every day before school, but that just isn’t the case for every child in America today. In fact, a new study released by Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry Campaign reports:
- 3 out of 5 teachers say they have children in their classrooms who regularly come to school hungry.
- 4 out of 5 of those teachers say these children come to school hungry at least once a week.
- A majority of teachers who see hunger as a problem believe the problem is growing.
