I teach in a high poverty school. My students deserve and need a comfortable cozy place to call home. They are eager to learn. All of our students receive free breakfast and lunch daily. We even provide snacks for many of them to take home, so they have something to eat over the weekend!

Despite their many challenges, their love of reading and writing never wanes!

We have a large population of Hispanic students as well. At times it can be difficult to communicate with parents or students. But, a warm colorful cozy classroom always makes a parent or student feel welcome and comfortable. Developing trust is always difficult, but warm inviting classrooms always pave the way.
