My Project

The students I serve have been severely impacted by COVID-19 and lack of connection in school. Our students arrive at school with baggage of trauma, home and food insecurities and lack a sense of belonging.

One focus in my classroom this year is to create a safe space to read through a culture of abundance.

So many of my students have not had their basic needs met as result of families being stretched too thin. We are trying to get books in kids hands, but we know you cannot learn with empty bellies and adult worries.
