Amy Greenberg, Teacher

My name is Amy Greenberg and and although I am a PGB teacher, I truly feel like I am often the student. The students are our greatest inspiration and when they connect to what they are passionate about, there is nothing that can stop them. For over 10 years, I have learned from students who have shared their stories and let us all in. I have learned from students who have stayed quiet during class time, only to find out that they shared every story they heard at the dinner table at home. I have learned from students who showed empathy and compassion for their classmates during difficult discussions. And I have learned from students who email me years after I have left their classrooms to tell me about the amazing things they are doing to make this world a better place. Project Give Back is a one year program, but the beauty is that it is simply a seed that we plant in our amazing students and we have the honour of watching it grow. I am so proud to be part of this talented team!
