    Supporting Our Veterans with Colonel DJ Reyes

    Soldiers often learn to suffer in silence, which is why it's so important that they have advocates like retired Col. DJ Reyes.

    Taking Care of Kids in Hillsborough County with Rob Kriete

    According to today's guest, Hillsborough County has more teacher vacancies than any other county in the state. And as President of the Hillsborough Classroom Teacher's Association, Rob Kriete knows what he's what he's talking about. That's why he's encouraging everyone to visit voteyesforstudents.org to learn about the referendum that will be on general election ballots this November. This millage referendum (Hillsborough Referendum #2, at the bottom of the ballot) will provide more funds for teachers, bus drivers, custodians, and other workers who support our children, to ensure they're getting the best education possible. Tune in to learn more about the needs of our community's children, and how you can support them! And follow @FeedingTampaBay on social media to learn more ways to get involved.

    Learning What Students Really Need with Lauren Leto of Brandon High School

    There are currently only two "community" schools in Hillsborough County, so as the Resource Teacher at Brandon High, Lauren Leto had to blaze a few trails to support her students. And one of the first things she found when she began talking to families in the community was that their most basic needs weren't being met. Before the conversation could start about raising the school's grade or overall test scores, students and families needed access to consistent, healthy meals, and to feel like they could count on someone to listen to and care for them. On today's episode we talk with Mrs. Leto and one of her student helpers, Pierre, about the impact these resources have had on their school's community, and how something as simple as a food pantry can change lives for the better. Learn more about our Feeding Minds program by following @FeedingTampaBay on social media today!
