My Project

COVID has had a tremendous impact on our students. It has also proven how resilient they are. In 2020, when students were abruptly told they couldn't return to school, they quickly found alternative ways to learn.

One of the biggest challenges students were faced with was the comfort of their learning environment at home.

Students quickly learned they don't need the traditional chair and desk to learn. They proved then, and continue to prove now, that having the ability to choose a comfortable seat empowers them to take responsibility for their learning.

Thank you for believing in my students as much as I do!
