Every year I gift this special book to each of my students. This book is meant to be inspirational and memorable.
Students are given this book with a message from their Kindergarten and first-grade teacher.
It is meant to inspire them to remember their year with the teacher.
The goal is to have students bring the book to each of the teachers throughout their education. When they graduate from High School they have inspirational messages from all the educators that have touched their lives. It is my hope that they will feel special and encourage them to do their best.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
