What I am most proud of this week was my ability to began implementing programs that are directly related to Law and Justice, and the students are excited.
Let me go back, when I started last year I was replacing a very good and dedicated teacher. He brought the program to the school. I was confronted by parents and told, "you have some big shoes to fill." I kindly replied that the previous teacher definitely left his mark; however, "I do not fill shoes I make my own footprints in the sand!"
Not only can the students join Skills USA, they also have the options of Police Explorer program(1st time for the school), and to be certified with C.E.R.T. (community emergency response team) through the Fire department.
I have a verbal agreement with the adjacent middle school for my Law and Justice internship students to work at the middle school as an assistant to the School Resource Officer. This is what it is all about for me, trying to leave a legacy. I want my students to have many opportunities to succeed and belong.
Hi Sabrina,
