  by Analiese.j & Brooklyn.b

Roeper teachers love kids. They are super kind. They like working with gifted children because they are “loving, inquisitive, and hilarious” according to Cynthia. Why students might want to know this is because its about the teachers, when it’s usually about the kids. Here is what the teachers had to say about why they came to work at Roeper. 

First Lori. Lori thinks that it is amazing to work with gifted children because they are so creative. 

Second Rachel. “The second I walked on this campus I just knew I wanted this job.” 

Third Cynthia. She loves the creativity of doing something different every day.  

Fourth Elisabeth. She graduated from Roeper in 2000 and she likes that at Roeper kids have a say in their own learning and get to explore their own interests.  

Fifth Sarah D. She wanted to work here because kids have more voice in the school.

LGBTQIAP+ Awareness

By Analiese J. & Riley C.

Have you ever heard of pride, LGBTQIAP+, or even QUILTBAG+? If you haven’t, Pride is something that sums up celebrating your gender and who you are attracted to. LBGTQIAP+ and QUILTBAG+ are short for lesbian, gay, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, pansexual, bisexual, and the + is for all the other identifications people use. Different people use different flags to celebrate their identities. October is LGBTQIAP+ History Month. Here are some books you can read to learn more!
