This brought a tear to my eye. I’ve lived in Chicago my entire life, and I’m quite familiar with Englewood and its difficulties. My sister also is a special education teacher with Chicago Public Schools and I know how much she cares for her students and how passionate she is about what she does. What incredible opportunities you’re providing your students! And this field trip had to have been a highlight. Nicely done, all of you.

What a wonderful experience for a field trip. Gaining real world experience as a class must have been an incredibly powerful experience for the students and Lauren!

Such a great experience for everyone involved. You can see such joy in each face up on the SkyDeck, where I personally would be pretty scared! What a wonderful day out, and learning life skills to boot. Well done.

What a great experience! I’m glad the kids all enjoyed their adventure. I love seeing kids have opportunities for fun travel, especially when it sometimes seems easier to skip the “hassle” of planning. Thank you for the difference you’re making in the special lives of your students.

What a beautiful experience for you and your students! I’m sure Sarah and Harry enjoyed the time just as much. A special thank you to you for the time and gifts you are giving your students. Teachers often are under appreciated, and I can tell you are a very special person. These kids are very lucky to have you in their lives. I’m glad you all were able to share this special day together.
