First let me say that a I think that is WONDERFUL of you! Second, I agree with you, I am appauled that they would let a child sit there with no snack while everyone around her had milk, etc. because the parents could not or did not send money. I always told my kid's teachers that if there was a child who didn't have money for lunch, field trips, the little quarterly magazines, whatever...to let me know. I was one of those kids and can not tell you what a horrible feeling it is to be the one child sitting in the library while the rest of your class is at the ballet or the one kid who didn't get the monthly "Zoo Paper" or whatever. Sometimes the parents can't afford it and sometimes they simply choose not to send it but whatever the reason...that child will FOREVER appreciate you kindness.....so THANK YOU!!!

I keep an extra Lunch money fund in her backpack/folder so If there is a child with out lunch the teacher can use it..
Its not the child's fault some fall on hard times..
