Scott Medina, Volunteer coordinator from Bridge House, visited the 5/6 students to speak about homelessness and hunger in Boulder. Through an interactive talk, students added their experiences, questions, and feelings around these issues. He gave students a background about the impact of Bridge House in their community and how their efforts contribute to Boulder's social safety net including their Ready-to-Work and transitional housing programs. Scott ended our time with these words, "I hope this gives you a sense of what's going on in the lives of the homeless and hungry of Boulder. I hope that the next time to see and interact with them, you can be a little more compassionate and know that it's an honor for you to serve people what may be their only meal of the day."
We will explore issues of hunger locally and globally as homeroom classes before we prepare and serve meals at Mountain View church across from our school. Below is our schedule.
