We shared this list of basic student needs last year in a #OneAthens session for school leaders. Original Source--scribbled in my notes from 2018 from the @AVID4College strand on #CulturallyRelevantTeaching with Robin Withers. What a blessing that learning was! @ARosales64

Been reflecting on the world these days and my role in it….I keep going back to this... “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.” - 1 John 4:7
