I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that there are 147,000 homeless people in the city of Chicago. That is an incredible number and I am, during this cold snap, thinking about how many school age children are homeless. It has to be a significant number.
Any of these children, and others, who we can provide with warm clothes and other school resources is most crucial. I am left wondering just how on earth cold, homeless students are expected to march on in the classroom and meet someone else's expectations for success. They have enough on their plates just to survive.
Whatever their needs, let's continue to assist those in need.
