Support Those Who Teach Our Children

There are few nobler professions then being a teacher. Our community depends on our schools and the teachers that educate our children. We put our trust and our children in their hands and we are rewarded with inquisitive and brilliant scholars. When our teachers say they need tools and resources such as librarians, nurses or arts education, they are advocating for our kids not themselves. I will reach out to our teachers and administrators to ask them how can I help them to expand our children’s options. Some easy solutions would be sharing resources between schools. We created a project in the 19th Ward Mutual Aid that we purchased five copies of the book MAUS by Art Spiegelman for every elementary and high school in the ward to be distributed this fall. With public and private initiatives we can give our teachers the tools that are need to help our children.
