I teach second grade in a Title I school in Colorado. My school is considered a "High Risk" school. A Title I School means that my school has a high free and reduced lunch rate-75.9%. My school also has a large percentage of NEP/LEP(Non-English, or Limited English Proficient) students-22.6%, as well as a high minority rate-59.4%. The students at our school face many challenges- no matter what their ethnic background. Many of our families are struggling to meet the basic needs of their children. We have a high number of families that live together in single households. It is also not an uncommon sight to see grandparents and even great-grandparents care for the children in this community. What has inspired me to stay for 19 years is seeing first hand the potential for my students, and being witness to their desire to learn and achieve.
