My students are 3rd graders that come from a wide range of backgrounds. However, the majority are Hispanic and/or low-income. 100% of the students in the school receive free breakfast and lunch. Even at the young age of 7,8 and 9 years old, they have struggled with issues that many of us did not, have not, or will not have to worry about in our lifetimes. Some do not get a chance to celebrate their birthdays. Others struggle to find food at night, and some have violence in their homes. Despite everything that could pull these kids down, they are sweet children that are eager learners. School is a safe place for them, and they blossom in the communities built inside their classrooms.
