Thank You! Boxes And Boxes Of Healthy Food Are Arriving For Sue’s Breakfast Snack Program

by Jon Katz

A truckload of healthy food for the children in Sue Silverstein’s classroom arrived at Bishop Gibbons High School. Sue asked for healthy food with vitamins and proteins and what she is getting.

She is stunned and thrilled and, for once, speechless. Me too. She spent the morning unpacking boxes with her students. Meanwhile, her art classes are making beautiful sculptures with paper.

This will make a profound difference to these children, some of whom come to school hungry, cold, and tired. These snacks will be an enormous help to them. We can’t thank you enough.

The Army of Good had done a fantastic job of gathering healthy, protein-filled snacks made especially for children. Sue can distribute some of this food to other classes, and students from other classes are welcome to come and share in this miraculous bounty if needed.

The food choices are lovely, tasty, and right on the mark. Thanks, thanks. The paper sculptures are pretty amazing, too.

I can’t stop smiling at the generosity and goodness of people, which is a good thing.

How great this is. How good it feels.

Please keep it coming if you can: Sue Silverstein, Bishop Gibbons High School, Schenectady, N.Y., 12304—many, many thanks. The children are thrilled and grateful.  The food will be distributed and devoured. This means more than I even imagined.

Boxes come from all over the country – Texas, Oregon, California, Kentucky, New York, Virginia, New Jersey and New Georgia. I’m sure I’m leaving some out.

These offerings are perfect – protein and vitamins, sugar-free and healthy. And very much appreciated.

 

Plus, the artwork goes on – see what her students are doing when asked to build paper structures.
