Meet Ms. Queen, a passionate new educator in the Baltimore City Public School System who believes teaching is about more than just lessons... It’s about care, dignity, and connection. During her student-teaching, she saw how small acts of kindness, like offering snacks or hygiene items, made a powerful impact on students' focus and well-being. Inspired by this, she’s creating a “Take What You Need” corner in her classroom. A welcoming space stocked with school supplies, food, and personal care items, available to any student, no questions asked. With empathy and purpose, Ms. Queen is building a classroom where every child feels seen, supported, and ready to succeed.
