Oh the diffences...

First of all, what I tell everyone when I talk about Iroquois: "Even the poor kids are richer then me"
One girl told me all about the huge zipper pull on her mother's Dolche and Gabanna purse
One boy was dropped off in a Mercedes

Night and day between the Ark and Iroquois!
Courtney ShepherdChildren here are really struggling with their families, it is much diffrent in the struggle the students at Iroquois have. Almost everything the students have, including breakfast and lunch is supplied by the school or the state because most of the children are on free or reduced lunches. Students at Iroquois had soup at hand for lunch and others complained that they forgot a lunch. Children at the Ark, although they are supplied with breakfast and lunch don't have to eat it but considering its probably the most nutritious thing the get all year, they eat it.
