Every day my 26 students come into the room hungry. Hungry for learning and for food. My students all come from low-income families who are unable to afford much for their children. All students at KNS receive free breakfast and lunch every day. Several of the students come on the first day without a backpack and come to school in the middle of winter with no coat. Teachers at KNS use a lot of their own money to buy basic school supplies for their children; such as paper, notebooks, pencils, scissors, and glue. This leaves a small amount of money to be spent on extra supplies for the classroom - whether it be technology related or supplies that will enhance student involvement.
