“I’m really excited to have this opportunity again! NNELL has felt like home for a long time, and I’m so happy to keep being part of it. I’ve grown so much thanks to this amazing community, and I’m looking forward to jumping back in and helping however I can. Thanks so much for the trust and support—it really means a lot!” 

“I support NNELL because I still am an Elementary Spanish teacher and have been for 30 years! I love learning new ideas and sharing some of my favorites. I am currently teaching summer school Spanish to PreK-4th grade African-American students at Nelson Mandela school in Omaha, Nebraska. They are amazing using my sign language and Spanish songs and they love cooking Hispanic recipes together from my Cooking Chatbooks. The mini coloring books are also huge because they can take them home to read with their families- supporting literacy in the community.”

“Working with NNELL has been such a meaningful experience. As a teacher and resource creator, I truly appreciate NNELL’s support for early language learning and helping teachers grow together. It’s an honor to support educators alongside an organization that encourages new ideas, teamwork, and professional growth.”
