Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Seeing my students with highly impacted needs graduate from highschool ! The joy and pride of watching each of them cross the stage (after additional practice : ) and get a diploma! It was a moment where the whole school community embraced an honored each student’s journey to graduate.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Help support love justice a nonprofit organization that provides safety for children who have been victims of human trafficking. This organization also has opened their own (Dream school) to support these children in Nepal. Also, probably indulge my own children with support they need and an adventure.
