Las Vegas, Nevada (CNN) — Principal Sherrie Gahn said she was shocked when she first came to Whitney Elementary School seven years ago.“The kids were eating ketchup packets,” Gahn said. “I said to one of my teachers, ‘What on Earth are they doing?’ and she said, ‘That’s their dinner.’ “
Whitney Elementary is in a dusty, rundown neighborhood of Las Vegas known as the Boulder Strip. The main drag, the Boulder Highway, is lined with pawn shops and low-rent motels.
