My Project

What I love most about my students is they show up their authentic selves everyday, despite their family life and the barriers constantly put in front of them! You would never be able to tell that they did not have future dreams because they are unapologetically themselves.

Who would think that children under the age of ten would carry the weight of the world on their shoulders and still thrive exponentially.

They live in their purest form of innocence, but are beginning to understand that they may work twice as hard and maybe not get as far because of who they are. They are up for the challenge.

Ms. Ringo New Paradigm Loving Academy Grades PreK-2
