AK
Most of my 30 years in education was spent serving students in Title I schools. Title I schools have high percentages of students receiving federal free and reduced lunch.. Many students coming from homes that are proud but struggle to meet the basic needs of a family. Some students are not coming from supportive homes. These are my kids. We take care of our students. No kid goes with out. In return, we are rewarded by kids who inspire adults. Today, I am a proud princ ipal. Each year Columbus Children's Theater conducts a writing project. Over 1,000 entries are received from Ohio elementary students and only 20 are selected annually to be turned into skits which are then performed through out Ohio by the Columbus Children' s Theater touring company. Our schools students writing has been selected 12 of the past 13 years. Today, we learned two fifth grade students stories were selected. I cried when I learned that AK's story was selected. The odds are stacked up...
