I'm proud to say that this year I get to see a classroom full of energetic, brilliant seventh graders every day, and teach them something more than math. Of course, we do learn pre-algebra, but our "Teacher Advisory" time is special. It allows the students to receive a well-rounded education as we touch on topics such as ethics and building character. More about that later. We are a city school in Virginia serving a high-need, mostly African American community. Many of the families, teachers, and administrators (including myself) live within walking distance of our school, which allows us to connect outside as well as inside the school building. Having just moved to this state, I am impressed by the value that is placed on culture and relationshipts, and am grateful to have been welcomed into the community.
