Скачать или смотреть High School Students Start Lunch Club to Make Everyone Feel Included

At Boca Raton Community High School in Florida, a group of students noticed how many classmates ate lunch alone, feeling isolated because of language, background, or social status. Inspired by their own experiences with loneliness, Denis Estimon and friends started the “We Dine Together” club to ensure no student feels left out. Every day, club members seek out students eating alone, inviting them to share meals, conversation, and friendship across the cafeteria. With more than 60 teens now participating, the club has created a culture of kindness and inclusion, helping students from over 70 countries feel seen and valued. New friendships are formed daily, and students like Nathaniel Hopwood now pay it forward by welcoming others who might be shy or new. What began as a small idea is inspiring plans for a National High School Dining Day, spreading unity and acceptance across the country.
