We want to express our deep gratitude to Travelers for its incredibly generous grant that will help fund our Paso a Paso teacher recruitment program. By allowing us to bring more teachers from Puerto Rico into our classrooms, Travelers is supporting our efforts to increase representation and provide our beautiful and capable students with teachers who they can connect with culturally and linguistically.
Today and every day, we give thanks for our incredible staff, partners, and families who contribute to the success and well being of our beautiful and capable students. We're grateful to have a community of caring and committed individuals who share our mission of helping all students succeed in school and in life.
