We Are Proud of YOU!
Congratulations to our very own Kindness Cultivator, Tamara Letter (@tamaraletter), author of A Passion for Kindness, for being recognized by CBS 6 Gives. We are so proud of YOU!
Excerpt from CBC 6 Gives Article:
"A Hanover County elementary school teacher who cultivates kindness in her students was recently rewarded for her hard work.
Tamara Letter has been featured on Building Better Minds with Rob Cardwell twice for her work as a Great Kindness Challenge Ambassador at Mechanicsville Elementary School.
Cardwell recently surprised her inside of her classroom with a special gift for her creative teaching about kindness, feelings, and love.
“After all these building Better Minds reports we did this year, unanimously, we talked about it and we thought that you were the one person that we thought would be most deserving of a gift,” said Cardwell.
“You not only teacher kindness, you encourage kindness, heck you even wrote a book about kindness. So, we wanted to gift you and bless you with a very generous Visa gift card and very generous Amazon gift card as well, just to say Merry Christmas and thank you for everything that you have done.”

A Holiday Wish from Marisol
Sending you thoughts for a beautiful holiday break and for well-deserved rest and time with your family. I am grateful for each of you and your work with our students, staff, parents, and community.
My one wish this holiday season is for each of you to pick up and read Zaretta Hammond's, Culturally Responsive Teaching & The Brain: Promoting Authentic Engagement and Rigor Among Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students.
This book dives deep into the impact culture has on the way we learn and it has helped me understand myself, and others in a meaningful way. To make things a bit easier HERE is the Amazon link.
