Having been in the teaching trenches of Chicago's low economic neighborhoods, I receive first hand insight as to what students and families face each day. Students are faced with a multitude of challenges and I must see to it that student learning still occurs. I believe that children are entitled to a first class education no matter their circumstances, no matter their race, gender or where they happen to reside. I believe in providing equitable and quality education for all children and where outstanding teachers will go far limits to do just that. Thank you for taking the time to check out my Donor Choose page! My class and I are thankful for your donation to help fund our classroom!
