I love that JCP is showing support for "Teach for America!!!!" My 23 year old sister is currently a "TFA" teacher in Mississippi, and she was 22 and just out of college too. So this topic is close to my sister's heart and now mine and the rest of our family. Those children are not just coming from broken homes or parents who work multiple jobs, but also areas of low poverty levels, or areas where schools are just struggling to stay open, and many other situations. The children at my sister's school and even the other TFA teachers have so much positive spirit within them to improve their area schools, but not many know what TFA is all about. I'm so glad Ellen gave this teacher and the Teach For America organization a little time in the spot light! Thank You Ellen and JCP!
I see you show almost every day and have seen amazing give aways but, seen this young teacher so devoted to her students made me cry. Our kids don't take for granted everuthing they have. That they come from school and dinner is ready. That we can go shopping for good brands and that they have parents to put them in bed and make sure they are safe. This kids come from broken families or parents with multiples jobs. Great learning lesson for my kids. Thanks
