The hope is that this collaboration will develop into a close relationship between the Army and families of the students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe provide fruit for the school\u2019s breakfast program. Our church members donate financially or give us physical produce throughout the whole year,\u201d Lieutenant Amy Patrick, leader, explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWe provide fruit for the school\u2019s breakfast program.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The Salvation Army\u2019s role is crucial to ensure that students whose families are struggling financially have access to healthy food before the start of class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTeachers are aware of which students are in complicated financial situations and they make sure they don\u2019t go without breakfast,\u201d says Lieutenant Amy. Ensuring students have nourishment helps them focus better on their learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Purvis Primary is located in the same neighbourhood as Cedar Hill. This was one of the main reasons the Salvation Army has additional motivation to contribute. The proximity makes it more personal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s our local school. Our church is on one side of the loop and they are in the other,\u201d Lieutenant Amy says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ongoing partnership goes beyond the breakfast program. Some teachers at Purvis are members of the Salvation Army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;We want to build intentional relationships with the school\u2019s staff and the students.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the teachers mentioned that students love it when we bring them Halo oranges,\u201d Lieutenant Amy shares. \u201cWe try to make a special effort if we can. If we know the children love certain fruits, we try to purchase those for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the students are also involved with the Salvation Army through a youth program called Messy Church. Connections made beyond the breakfast program are the end goal of building a partnership.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe want to build intentional relationships with the school\u2019s staff and the students. We are hoping to eventually be able to go to the school every week for a couple of hours to help in the classrooms in any way,\u201d Lieutenant Amy says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the time being, Cedar Hill continues to focus on supporting the breakfast program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHaving a healthy, hearty breakfast is a necessity. You need to meet someone\u2019s basic needs before anything else,\u201d Lieutenant Amy concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By Juan Romero<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the past couple of years, The Salvation Army\u2019s Cedar Hill Citadel\/church in Bermuda has partnered with Purvis Primary to support the school\u2019s breakfast program.
