My 4th graders are a diverse, energetic group of enthusiastic learners. They come to school each day eager to explore new concepts and ideas. Some of my students have special needs, and several are newcomers, working hard to adjust to a new country and language. They all come from minority backgrounds, and many face the challenges of growing up in economically disadvantaged communities. Despite these challenges, my students show incredible resilience, creativity, and a love for learning. Every day, they inspire me with their curiosity and determination. Your support helps provide them with the tools and resources they need to succeed, ensuring that each child has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their background or circumstances. Thank you for being a part of their journey!
