The FCCLA Club at John Hersey High School Helps the No Kid Hungry Program The FCCLA (family, career, and community leaders of America) Club at John Hersey High School has become involved in solving one of America’s largest crisis; Childhood Hunger. About sixteen million, or one in five, children suffer from hunger. This affects the present and the future. Children can’t focus in school when they’re hungry and they usually have lower test scores than children who eat balanced meals. These children are also more susceptible to illnesses, and will miss several days of school. When a student is so behind academically, that student is far less likely to graduate from high school and will most likely not attend college. The results lead to an adult that is far less likely to earn enough money to feed his/her own family. Childhood hunger is detrimental to child development, education, and the economy. Luckily, there is hope! By the year 2015, Share Our Strength’s program No Kid Hungry aims to completely end childhood hunger in America. They are a reliable organization that will connect families to effective nutrition programs that will supply them with the tools to provide healthy, nutritious, and low cost meals everyday. In the summers, when children’s free/reduced school lunch program is not available for them, the No Kid Hungry organization will provide families with meals at special meal sites to make sure kids can just focus on being kids. Finally, No Kid Hungry will educate the parents of the children on cooking and purchasing healthy food more effectively. For the first time, No Kid Hungry has approached FCCLA Clubs across the country to help earn donations to make all of their amazing plans happen. At John Hersey High School, the students involved in FCCLA have actively held bake sales and restaurant Dine and Shares. They also plan on having a charity fashion show in January. Their efforts have been very successful so far, but they still need the help of the community. If you are interested in donating to this worthy cause, please visit nokidhungry.org to further educate yourself and do one of two things: Visit the JHHS Donations page at http://join.strength.org/site/TR/CEM/General?team_ id=124441&pg=team&fr_id=1160 to donate online or send a check made out to Share Our Strength and send it to John Hersey High School at 1900 East Thomas Arlington Heights, IL 60004 This truly is the perfect way to open your heart and help end childhood hunger in America this New Year! 23
