Be The Change- It only takes one person to make the difference in the world and the life of a child. I need your help to enrich the lives of my students. I want them to be able to celebrate their uniqueness and embrace others' differences. My students live at or below the poverty level, so many of them never have the opportunity to travel yet alone leave the neighborhood. I want to have the tools to open up the world to them in the classroom. I work with emotionally disturbed students and many cannot focus in the classroom due to ADHD, autism and sensory issues, so I want to provide them with the tools they need to be successful. Please join me as we try to make a difference and be the change in their young lives.
