My students are loving, caring, and friendly children. They come from broken homes. Many children are being raised by their grandparents or by single parents because one or more parents are into drugs, in jail, or just are not fit at the moment to be able to parent. These children need all the support and care that they can get at school to show them that they can succeed in life especially with the right tools.
