Sixth Grade Food Insecurity Capstone

Sixth graders are immersed in a yearlong interdisciplinary and service learning experience focusing on food insecurity both locally and globally. Cross curricular activities include utilizing hunger statistics as they learn ratios and percentages in math, researching the essential nutrients in health, exploring the issue of food deserts in science, and examining food insecurity in various parts of the world in social studies.  

Throughout the year students are joined on campus by several local organization leaders who are engaged in this issue and they participate in an ongoing internships (repeated visits over the year) at local organizations, including GACM, that work to combat food insecurity in various ways.
