Emily Stromquist, the CEO of Food for Hope, understands that her group is not simply keeping bellies full. Food for Hope provides meals for Adams County school students, including in-school food banks at numerous schools in the Adams 12 Five Star, 27J and Adams 14 districts as well as Westminster Public Schools. It also offers weekend food

bags and in-school snacks to help kids concentrate on their work. Stromquist said when they started to serve an elementary school in the 27J school district and she learned of a fifth-grade boy who was having behavior issues in the classroom that staff could not figure out. The boy came in and received a bag of food for his family. Stromquist said he started crying and shared how hungry he was and how little food they had a home. “It turned out the whole year he was hungry because he wasn’t receiving enough food. It was causing his behavior issue,” Stromquist said. “Sometimes signs of hunger can be hard to miss with children and sometimes parents too, it’s embarrassing for them to say any-

The started with weekend bags to fill the gaps when the schools were not serving breakfast and lunch. Then in 2019, they had the idea of starting a food bank in school. Northglenn High School was its first location, and it had a real need for food. “Since then Food for Hope has placed food banks in Adams 12, 14 and 27J. We are also working with a Westminster school serving them through our Feed 5000 program,” Stromquist said. “We have a food SEE HOPE, P7

Brighton’s school district says it needs money. So, come Tuesday, Nov. 8, voters will be asked to approve an increase of eight mills to provide for school safety, retention of teachers and something else. The last time Brighton voters approved a mill-levy override was 2000. “We’ve pulled all the budgettrimming levers we have,” said 27J spokesperson Janelle Asmus. “There is no more nibbling around the edges that we can do to make ends meet. It’s that simple. It’s that dire. We are at the point where we are having to face cuts to things that will negatively impact students and families. But that’s where we are. There are no other options.” SEE OVERRIDE, P3
