Staff Highlight, Ms. Chavez

When we talk about love, kindness, and connection, Ms. Chavez doesn’t just teach it… she lives it.

This week, our amazing 1st grade teacher and House of Amistad adult leader hand-made stuffed animals for every single student in her class. Not store-bought. Not rushed. But crafted by hand, stitched with care, and given with love.

Each student went home with more than a stuffed animal.
They went home with a reminder that they are seen, valued, and deeply loved. ❤️

Moments like this are why our students feel safe, connected, and excited to come to school every day. Ms. Chavez’s classroom isn’t just a place of learning—it’s a place of belonging.

House of Amistad stands for friendship, compassion, and heart… and Ms. Chavez embodies it in the most beautiful way.

We are beyond grateful for teachers like you. Thank you for loving our students the way you do—one stitch at a time. 🧸✨

🦚 If this doesn’t make your heart melt, we don’t know what will.

Happy Holidays, This is the heart of a teacher
