No one eats alone at Galion Middle School
Special to the Inquirer
GALION Galion Middle School Principal Paul Wheeler is always looking for new ways to get kids involved and included in various aspects of middle school life. Recently, Mr. Wheeler saw kids eating alone at lunch and knew he needed to do something.
“Seeing kids eating alone at lunch made me worry that we weren’t doing enough for our students, even during this pandemic,” Wheeler said. “I knew I needed to find something, a program or curriculum, that could help us combat students’ feelings of isolation.”
Wheeler immediately went to work and discovered the No One Eats Alone program, as well as No One Eats Alone Day. The program teaches students how to make friends and create a culture of belonging.
