I first learned about Geoffrey Canada many years ago from my dad, who always believed a person’s zip code should never define their potential. Ever since I became an educator, I’ve followed Geoffrey’s work with deep admiration. Yesterday, I had the honor of hearing him speak in person, and his words reignited my purpose. His passion for community, equity, and hope moved me. As he closed with this poem, I was reminded why this work matters so deeply. I can only hope to be half the educator he is.

Literacy Lab for teachers from across the district is in full effect @OrangeCenterEle ! Thank you, Ms. Cerkiewicz @ocpsPL @ocpsela

@OrangeCenterEle loved having @maria_f_vazquez and Mr. Foganholi on campus!

Students independently designed and built houses using recycled materials, aiming to make them strong enough to survive an earthquake. This creative project was inspired by our reading of Earthquakes by Sneed B. Collard III. After completing their designs, students presented their work and tested their houses using a fan to simulate an earthquake. It was a fun and hands-on way to connect reading with science, while practicing problem-solving and engineering skills. @OrangeCenterEle

Honored to be recognized during Orlando Pride’s Woman of Pride at tonight’s game. A moment to recognize woman throughout the Orlando community. I am honored and thankful to work in the 32805 community each day. Even one of my former students was there to cheer me on. 💜

Yesterday, @OrangeCenterEle staff, toured our neighborhood with @LiftOrlando as our tour guide. We learned the history of our neighborhood while learning more about the work Lift is doing for our community. A special thank you to West Lakes Early Learning Center and the Oakridge and Jones interns who made us the most delicious meal from Legacy Cafe!
