My Project

I may be biased, but my kids are the best of the best! They work hard, engage with difficult topics, and show up every day with a hunger for learning. My kids are curious about the world around them, which is exactly what inspired me to design this new English elective course for them. In Philosophy in Literature, we will explore complex ideas about the the meaning of life and good vs. evil through some amazing works of literature. This class is truly a class for my kids, where we can have challenging conversations in a safe space within our community.
