Our public school is situated in a large, urban city. Our classroom is a special education room and the 20 children you would be supporting are in 3rd through 8th grade. They have been diagnosed with disabilities but more importantly, these children are awesome! They have unique quirks and personalities that define them more than any diagnosis. Honestly speaking, they challenge me and inspire me each day to be a better educator and a better person and this is why I am seeking your assistance in giving them the kind of education they deserve. Help me unlock their highest potential.
