I work with the most amazing students! Although my students face an immense amount of challenges in their daily lives, they are eager to learn and come to school with smiles on their faces! Many of my students face challenges that affect their success in school including poverty, trauma, hunger, and unstable home lives. Many of the students at my school are English language learners, meaning their primary language is something other than English. This presents another challenge as educators, but it also deepens the rich culture and diverse backgrounds that comprise our student population
