I’ve created a homeless resource guide for the entire city of Atlanta. This guide should have every resource a person struggling with homelessness could get. It also has coupons for things like tents, meals, coats, etc from local businesses. I’m super proud! Creating thousands.

This just made my day. I may not be a 3rd grade teacher, but this gets an A+ in my book!
Today my 9 year old was @MichelleObama for her 3rd grade Open House project. She was inspired by her work to make sure more kids go to college & #ReachHigher . She loves that Mrs Obama is brown & has hair like hers #ISawMyself
