Current Events QTR 2 Week 5:Hunger grows in the heartland

In Moberly, as in many school districts, free or reduced-priced breakfasts and lunches are served during the week to children whose families don't have a lot of money. But school officials in Moberly had noticed that some children were coming to school hungry on Monday mornings. There hadn't been enough food in their homes to feed them on Saturdays and Sundays or the parents, for whatever reason, had not been around to prepare meals.Last year about 106 children needed there backpacks full of donated food to make it through the weekends. 

In my opinion, parents should be there to feed kids. If students are not getting food at home but coming to school with excuses isn't right. Parents should be able to feed them and take care of there health. I can understand at school since kids get free lunch and breakfest. The kids need to speak up to there parents.
