My Students

My student body reflects the unique diversity of the Hawaiian islands. My students are creative, driven, free thinkers who appreciate the connections they experience in school as much as they appreciate academic learning. My students have formed a tight community, as many of them have been in school together since kindergarten. They love to work, play, and create.

My students are forced to be resourceful, which only nurtures their innovation.

They are true trailblazers and I am proud to know them!

My Project

I work with a very diverse group of adolescents at a public charter school. While we've steadily been growing our library, there is still a need to see greater representation of my students' identities in the books they read.

The books included in this project provide priceless opportunities for my students to see their identities represented in literature.

This project includes a wealth of manga in order to promote Japanese culture and literature in my class. It also includes books about LGBTQ youth so that my LGBTQ students may see themselves represented in the books we have.
