Don't Let ACEs Define Students


As teachers we must understand that our students are a product of all of their experiences, good and bad.  We must not let their ACEs define them.  It's our responsibility to help them find their own strength, meaning, and purpose despite these obstacles so they can grow up to be happy, healthy, and productive adults.  This is how the cycle gets broken and we are an important part of this process.  They're all great kids; some just don't know it yet.      - Jim Parry, REACH Stewartville
