Former First Lady of Virginia Dorothy McAuliffe presents Highland View Elementary Principal Pamela L. Davis-Vaught with the \u2018Educator of the Year\u2019 Award from Share Our Strength<\/p><\/div>\n

Davis-Vaught was recognized for her work to form partnerships with local and state agencies to support childhood hunger programs at Highland View Elementary. Under her leadership, Highland View Elementary launched a Breakfast After the Bell program in 2014. The school was the first in the Bristol school division to offer an alternative breakfast model to students. Davis-Vaught also oversaw community partnerships at Highland View to provide holiday and weekend backpack programs to help meet the nutritional needs of students when school was not in session.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud to celebrate the 2019 Educator of the Year for her work to promote childhood hunger programs at Highland View Elementary and throughout the Commonwealth,\u201d said Mrs. McAuliffe. \u201cPrincipal Davis-Vaught is committed to finding innovative solutions to make sure students can access the meals and other resources they need to succeed. Thanks to dedicated partners and advocates like Principal Davis-Vaught, Virginia has become a national model for ending childhood hunger.\u201d<\/p>\n

Davis-Vaught\u2019s efforts helped enroll Highland View Elementary in the Virginia 365 project, a multi-year federal pilot to demonstrate the impact of ensuring students have access to three meals a day. Highland View continues to provide Breakfast after the Bell, afterschool meals and weekend backpacks today.<\/p>\n

One in seven children in America live in families that struggle with hunger. Research shows that hunger has long-term ramifications on children, including lower test scores, weaker attendance rates, and a higher risk of hospitalizations and chronic diseases. Share Our Strength\u2019s No Kid Hungry campaign and its partners focus on Breakfast After the Bell as a critical way to end childhood hunger.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrincipal Pam Davis-Vaught is a true school meals champion,\u201d said Claire Mansfield, No Kid Hungry Virginia state director. \u201cShe has worked tirelessly to create a strong and successful Breakfast After the Bell and afterschool programs that are making a big impact. Highland View<\/p>\n

Elementary\u2019s approach to child nutrition has become model that schools across the U.S. are looking to thanks to Principal Davis-Vaught\u2019s leadership and vision.\u201d<\/p>\n
