My students come from pretty difficult homes. 76% of my students are considered "at risk"...free lunch, incarcerated parents, homeless, migrant, abused, abandoned, you name it. In spite of all their challenges though, they are truly amazing kids. They are great at pushing aside whatever horrible thing is going on in their lives to focus on the task at hand...learning. They realize that learning, school, and most of all, reading, is important--and the ticket to a better life. They are great kids who deserve the world...and a better hand than they have been dealt. That is where our staff come in. I have never worked with a staff who is so caring, so creative, and so willing to go the extra mile to help these kids succeed. They truly work miracles with these kids every day. I know the success of our school family is a direct correlation of how hard our tireless staff and volunteers work.
