During my third visit to BJM elementary school, I noticed the sense of community in the neighborhood. Ms. Sarah, who is a teacher that helps out in the Art Room, has been living in Ithaca for many years and has been part of these children’s lives even before they were born. Since she moved to Ithaca, she has always worked with children, so she has interacted with many of the parents when they were children and some are even her godchildren. Ms. Sarah exemplifies loyalty to these people’s families and does her best to get to know the parents of children she has not met before. It is great to see that she was able to make a home away from her home and contribute to its development.
