My STL Teacher Hero Danyell Boston
#ThankATeacher
Hey friends, it's teacher appreciation week!!!
I've set this fund up to support my former derby teammate Mighty Mighty Boston (Danielle Bowen) in her tireless efforts working with troubled kids in one of the many underfunded St. Louis city schools.
I'm endlessley inspired by her selfless dedication to helping her students. She spends a lot of her own money on supplies for creative activities that help her facilitate conversations with kids trying to find their voice. She often buys clothes and shoes for these kids, in addition to helping them with basic school supplies.
The money will go directly to Danielle for supplies and expenses she incurs helping her students.
She recently sent me this heartfelt note she received from one of her students and it reminded me how much a small kindness can mean to a kid.
