Community Quote by Lauren Ridloff

“My relationship with PS 347 goes way back. I was the teacher there and I moved from California to New York City. And I knew no one, nobody at that time. I feel like that was in 2002. And it was the first community that I felt connected to. I felt welcomed and included.” quote by Lauren Ridloff — Download Open image
