COLUMBUS, Ohio-As schools prepare for Spring Break, efforts are underway to support students in need during the week-long break. Schools like Salem Elementary, Maize Elementary, and Woodward Park Middle are providing essential items and food supplies to ensure students have resources while away from school.
Teachers and staff, such as Christopher Prost and Promise Motley at Salem Elementary, are leading initiatives to collect non-perishable food items, toiletries, and school supplies for distribution. Similar efforts are seen at Woodward Park Middle, where Dr. Rhoda Arrington emphasizes the importance of supporting students in need.
Maize Elementary partners with the Children’s Hunger Alliance to provide food boxes for each student, addressing food insecurity during the break. These initiatives highlight the community’s commitment to supporting students’ well-being, particularly those facing economic challenges. Additionally, various resources are available for Columbus families beyond school support, including programs by the Children’s Hunger Alliance, the Mid-Ohio Food Collective, and CAP4Kids, offering comprehensive services and assistance.
