Big Box Storage Presents May’s Teacher of the Month!

A big congratulations to Këri Bolding from Thrive Public School in San Diego! You’re our Teacher of the Month at Big Box Storage, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate you! In a world that sometimes feels divided, it’s amazing to see you bring a fresh, artistic perspective to your students. We’re thrilled to support the wonderful work you’re doing.

From the Teacher:

“I teach a group of amazing first and second graders from diverse backgrounds, experiences and abilities. They all have big hearts and an extraordinary capacity to understand and relate to the feelings others who are different. They have been working together all year to learn about our 5 senses, and how they help us engage with and comprehend the people and world around us. We are now focused on ways to *use our sense of sight to look deeper* and *learn more* about each other, ourselves, and our community.” 

“Students are gaining information, skills and experiences that connect them to the anatomy of their eyes, the many applications of vision in science and math, and the diversity in concepts of beauty in art, literature, and culture. Most importantly, they are learning not to judge something or someone by first appearance and their writings and illustrations reflect this important concept. My students are truly wonderful artists and need more supplies as they explore and undertake different techniques and genres. They love to paint, but we only have enough tabletop easels for part of the class, and need 14 more so everyone can create together.”

“It would be fabulous to provide at least one real canvas per student for a final masterpiece, but this is not possible without outside support. Art and drawing supplies like paint, brushes, mini pallets, watercolor paper and colored pencils are in great need as well. I believe that school is a magical place where any student can become a “mastermind,” brilliant creator, awesome author, super scientist, excellent engineer, and much more. I try to make everyday a part of an ongoing journey where the love of learning is celebrated and has no limits.”
