Hunger in Our Schools: Share Our Strength's Teachers Report

Earlier this month, Share Our Strength released its 2nd annual survey of K-8 public school teachers about child hunger.

According to the nationwide survey:

• 65% of teachers say there are children in their classrooms who regularly come to school hungry because they are not getting enough to eat at home.
• Nearly two thirds (65%) of teachers say that most or a lot of their students rely on school meals as their primary source of nutrition.
  
• Nearly(96%) of teachers believe that breakfast is extremely or very important to student academic achievement.
