Our wonderful school in East Portland is in a very culturally diverse neighborhood with 95% of students qualifying for free/reduced breakfast and lunch. It's a challenge to begin school when your life experience and academic readiness may make things harder for you and may have already put you behind those in more affluent neighborhoods. Even with difficult circumstances, my students are amazing and fantastic little people! They teach me the value of perseverance and kindness everyday. All of the teachers in our school do their best to give our students a safe, comforting and highly engaging school experience each and every day.
