My students reside in an urban neighborhood that is ethnically diverse. 91% of the students receive free or reduced lunch. We have learned to respect our cultural diversity and now we must come together to respect and care for our one earth. Our city is home to "The Great Falls," which has recently been designated as a national historical site. The city started as an industrial center — powered by the rushing waters of the Passaic River. Today the raceway and river are polluted and unsafe for any living organisms or recreation. I am working hard to educate my students about what they can do to protect and improve this spectacular area so the living organisms in and around the falls can survive and thrive. Students can do their part by educating parents and friends which will help this great original industrial city come back to life. Progress has begun but it must be ongoing. My part is to channel our youth in the right direction and take responsibility for the future.
