Meet Our Community

You don’t get into teaching if you don’t love working with kids. Seeing them learn something new or figure out something that has challenged them is highly rewarding."

I want students to feel comfortable in my class, so I listen to them. I trust them. I support them even when they doubt themselves. I want them to know it’s OK to take risks."

The kids at Country Day are all very sweet. I love seeing their faces every day. They are happy when they come into my classroom and they’re happy when they leave."

Sofia and Joanna are true leaders and role models for the rest of the Interact members and in our community."

Sammy taught my students how fun and exciting it can be to design your own learning experience outside the classroom."

His smiles, hugs, and dances brighten my every day. He is the biggest community builder at this school and makes friends with all the athletes and coaches."

It seems like every day something inspires me that I can tie into my classroom to keep the content fresh and engaging—I know math content can be dry!"

Teaching English gives me a daily opportunity to share my love of words, literature, and writing with young people."

One of the special things about teaching choir is that I may have a student for all four years, so I get to experience their growth and see how they mature."
