Ana Ramos-Sanavio, a beloved teacher at Micheltorena Elementary, has lost her family's Altadena home where she raised both her kids.

A group of parents from the school is organizing this fundraiser (I'm Michelle, and my two daughters had Ms. Sanavio for a total of 3 years in two grades and over dozens of Publishing Parties).

We are so heartbroken for her family, let's shower them with resources!!

Ms. Sanavio teaches elementary school, but the picture of her here (on the right) is with a group of junior high-schoolers, because Ms. Sanavio is just so charismatic and cool that her former students still want to take pics with her.

She is a truly wonderful teacher, so lively and warm, and she has guided generations of students as they learn to write and think and engage with the world. Please be generous, if there is anyone who has given to this community over the years, it's Ms. Sanavio. The funds will go to her directly, as a gift to help her and her family get by with whatever temporary needs they have, as they figure out how to recover from this devastating loss.

Here are some more pics of Ms. Sanavio and her students:
