Dear Students,
To my incredible immigrant and refugee learners, I want you to know that my journey as an educator has been profoundly enriched by you. You’ve taught me that education transcends beyond textbooks and rote learning. Through your diverse cultures and experiences, I’ve discovered the importance of embracing differences and reshaping my own viewpoints. The reality of teaching is far richer than what I once learned in college.
Each of you is unique, bringing both strengths and challenges that contribute to our classroom’s vibrant tapestry. Your backgrounds and experiences with your families offer invaluable insights. Alongside your strengths comes wisdom that surpasses your years, and with your challenges arises a chance for us to learn about the wider world together.
Always be true to yourselves and celebrate your heritage. Take pride in your families and know that your classroom community stands behind you. To my refugee and immigrant students, you are deeply cherished.
To the families of my immigrant and refugee students, I cannot express enough how much I admire you. Your resilience, hard work, and commitment to creating a better future for your children is awe-inspiring. You’ve shown me the true meaning of perseverance.
I see you juggling multiple jobs, attending night classes, and studying for citizenship tests while managing daily life. Your sacrifices for your children’s futures are heart-wrenching yet beautiful. I’ve shared tears with you during farewell moments and celebrated milestones together. You have welcomed me into your homes, shared meals, and opened your hearts in ways that will forever resonate with me.
Together, we’ve built relationships that extend beyond the classroom, reminding us that we are all human beings striving for the best. While I may be your child’s teacher, the life lessons have come from you. To my immigrant and refugee families, you are truly cherished.
To my students who face disabilities and learning challenges, your courage inspires me every day. You have so much to contribute to this world. Even when it feels like the broader society doesn’t have your back, please remember that your close-knit community is here for you. Your teachers are relentless advocates for your rights and well-being. We are dedicated to collaborating with your families to help you become the best version of yourselves. To my students with disabilities and learning challenges, you are profoundly cherished.
To my fellow educators, I stand proudly with you. We understand the dedication required to keep our public schools running smoothly. We face challenges and bureaucratic hurdles daily, yet we remain resilient. Despite the obstacles, we are committed to fighting for our students and each other. Each teacher across this great nation is cherished.
To those who harbor fear and promote negativity, I send my love, albeit through clenched teeth. I remind myself that perhaps you haven’t had the chance to connect with someone from a different background. Not everyone grows up with love and kindness as foundational values, and while I respect your right to your opinions, I hope for a world where understanding prevails. To the fearful in our nation seeking a scapegoat, you are loved.
