Shelter from the Storm: A Brief Refuge in East Los Angeles

“Unless we do something with education with the total human being, we are not really preparing our children. That sense of security is so incredibly powerful for kids. So many of our children don’t feel safe at home or in their neighborhoods, so to feel safe in school is so beautiful. To know that they won’t be put down or hurt, this is my dream that we do this. Can you imagine if all schools would feel this way?” -Mrs. Reifler

Ms. Reifler is a one of a kind elementary school teacher who educates her students on the importance of living a life that matters. Her classroom gives her low-income, east Los Angeles students a brief refuge.
