Quotes:

“Wellness is accessible to you even if you are from an environment that is not ideal.”

“Equity is asking how can I get every student there? There can be so many different things and so my job is to figure out what is there for my children, for our students, and then what can we do to get them there.”

“I think that it's our job as educators to show what healthy love is.”

“There's just so many layers that go into a child's ability to be successful “

“The earlier we can allow children to know that they're individual, the better, because they're not forcing themselves to fit in these spaces that they just don't fit in.”
