My Students

My students are inquisitive and have embraced and internalized our mantra, “We are growing our intelligence every day”. The more we do something, the better we get at it. Last week as I sat down feeling dejected and like a total failure, Reinaldo walks up to me. Looks at me for a couple of seconds and says, “You know something? I love you!” I started crying. I gave him a hug and told him I love you too. He probably thought me crazy. But that 5-year-old telling me that at that moment was a balm on my soul. They often comfort each other as well. It re-charged my mindset of perseverance. They are my why. Children, despite their zip codes, deserve a quality education that will afford them opportunities to be contributing members to our democracy!

My Project

While a picture is worth a thousand words, so is the gift of a coat. It says "I care, I care about you in so many ways you can not even imagine. You matter!" As well as so so much more. During these hard times, parents and children are struggling. Please help me put some warm coats on my students.

A coat is a perfect gift this season.

All students need to be warm when they go to school, go outdoors for recess, and when they catch the bus home. The coats will help keep all of my students warm when they are outside, and the security of knowing their new winter coats will keep them warm.

This year especially, when money is extra tight, the gift of a coat goes farther than it used in the past. Many of my students have siblings and extended family that they live with. These coats will get good use. Thank you for your consideration in helping me raise my part of the village!
