Good morning.
Cloudy and we may be in for some showers.
Sadly, poverty has always been with us. Most of my daughter's time at primary school there was only her and a boy in her year. When a farming dad and his daughter came into the area we had the girl around after school for playdates and I always remember her commenting at the tins of food in my cupboard. They ived from payday to payday. The same at Intermediate where I helped with reading. The teacher told me some of these kids didn't have a table and chairs let alone books. That was over 30 years ago, I was well aware over 60 years ago when I was a child that school lunches disappeared from bags because kids were hungry.
School drop off and pick up later, no plan.
Enjoy the day all.
